Lime With Mint Cool Aid Recipe

	Noir / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago For a lazy day, this is the perfect, sweet-sharp drink, lime lemonade only more so, for a hot summer's day. There's nothing to stop you adding a slug of vodka, but I love this as it is, in its pure, unalcoholic state. Enjoy! Prep:10m Cook:5m Servings:8	Noir
	cool refreshing

Does this look good? Yeah! / Nope

Ingredients

8 limes (or enough to make just more than 1 cup juice)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

Bunch fresh mint, some sprigs reserved for the pitcher later

5 cups water

Ice cubes

Directions

Remove the zest of 4 of the limes using a vegetable peeler and put this, along with the sugar, mint and 1 cup of the water, into a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Once it's started boiling, turn the heat down and let the liquid simmer in the pan for about 5 minutes.

Take off the heat, let cool, and then strain into a pitcher.

Squeeze the limes to make about 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons juice and then add, along with the rest of the water, to the jug of syrup.

Add ice cubes and few sprigs of mint.

Serve in a highball glass...:)
