Servings: 2
Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
- ½ cup lemon juice (from 2-3 lemons)
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 cups ice
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 pinch salt (balances the sweetness)
Instructions
- Load all ingredients into a powerful blender—the mint (set some aside for garnish), lemon juice, water, ice, honey, and salt. Blend until combined. Blend at a slower speed for an icier consistency and faster for a smoother slushy consistency.
- A variation is to simply mix all the ingredients together in a pitcher. You can just chop or crush the mint leaves, so you have a more conventional lemonade.
