Two Mint Lemonade has been in the recipe repertoire of Daphnis and Chloe for years now. Not only the sweetness of the mints will allow you to use less sugar than in traditional lemonade – the freshness of the Peppermint and Pennyroyal are a panacea against the heatwave!
Steep the mints in freshly boiled water for 5-7 mins. Strain, and dissolve the sugar in the warm herbal infusion. Peel and squeeze the lemons, keep the zest aside for the garnish. Mix the lemon juice with the herbal infusion. Garnish a cup with the lemon zest. Add ice, pour the lemonade and serve.Â
8 fresh lemons
4 tbsps white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 tsp Peppermint
1 tsp Pennyroyal Mint
Extra Tip! To calculate how to make more (or less) servings, keep in mind that the perfect proportion is 2 lemons, 1 tbsp sugar and 1 shot of the Two-Mint infusion per person.
