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.
Limonana
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- ¼ cup simple syrup (boil equal parts water and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Let cool)
- ½ cup (packed) fresh mint leaves, just the leaves, no stems
- 1-2 cups ice
- mint sprigs, for garnishing
- lemon slices, for garnishing
Instructions
- Blend lemon juice, simply syrup, mint leaves, and 1 cup ice. Blend. Add more ice if you want a slushier consistency. Top with mint springs and lemon slices.
Refresh with Peach and Strawberry Wine Slushy Cocktails
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/
Can you make simple syrup with sweetener? Thx
Can this be made sugar free variation?
Hi, Is there a way to prepare this in advance on Friday for Shabbat?
Thank you!
You can make simple syrup with trivia
How about using Agave instead of the simply syrup?
