Recipes From the Garden: Bobby Flay's Minted Lemonade

This is Bobby Flay's recipe, not mine, but I have been looking for something to do with my mint which happens to be overtaking the planter it is in (I know I should have put it in its own container...lesson learned).

I love lemonade and the weather is certainly right for it so I am making this lemonade this week. I'll let you know how it turns out, but being it is from Bobby Flay (I must say one of my favorite celebrity chefs) I am sure it will be tasty!

Minted Lemonade

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 cups fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup mint leaves

Directions

To make simple syrup: Place 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved and let cool. Place lemon juice in a large pitcher, add remaining 4 cups water and 1 cup of the simple syrup or more to taste. Stir in mint leaves and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve over ice.
