Mint Lemon Slushie or Limonana
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
Makes around 6 glasses of limonada
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 2 lemons, roughly chopped up skin and all but seeds removed
- 1 bunch mint, leaves only, washed
- 2 cups chilled water
- 1 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Step 1 - Place the ice cubes and lemons in a high powered blender (I used my Oster Versa blender) and whizz to produce a slushy ice. Add the mint, water, sugar and lemon juice and process. Serve as is. You can make this up a few hours ahead of time and serve as is or strained.
