Servings: 8 to 9 cups
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

4 lemons
3 limes
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup superfine sugar, plus additional as desired

Directions

Squeeze the juice from 3 of the lemons and 2 of the limes; strain the juice into a glass measuring cup (about 1 cup juice). Thinly slice the remaining lemon and lime, removing the seeds; set aside.

In the bottom of a tall pitcher, use a wooden spoon to gently mash the mint leaves with 1/4 cup sugar. Add strained juice; stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the cold water and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar to the pitcher; stir well to dissolve the sugar. Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Add the lemon and lime slices. Chill before serving.

Five stars all around! Saw ya'll make this on t.v. I am making tonight with the talipia and almond rice! Can't wait! (We are a LARGE family of 7 so unfortunately I can't afford the cast iron plate that you used.. maybe somebody will get it for me as a mother's day present later in life!) but I know it will turn out great anyway! Thanks for always making terrific food! (P.S. I also made your breakfast for dinner casserole from your fall magazine/cookbook today for brunch and it was out of this world! Thanks!!!) Best!
