How to Make Our Favorite Summer Drink: Limonana

 It’s sweet, sour, and so refreshing: Make perfect limonana at home today

When my family and I go upstate for Camp Visiting Day, we usually end up stopping at Stargelt Cafe in Loch Sheldrake. We always order this limonana when we’re there. Since it became a family favorite, I tried to replicate it at home so we can enjoy it all summer long.

    Where do you buy mint leaves and how do you check them? Thanks

      I was able to find them greenhouse grown and pre-checked in my local grocery. Many groceries carry them. However if you cannot find them pre-checked, it is possible to check them yourself – see this link: https://betweencarpools.com/how-to-check-vegetables-for-bugs/
