Recipe
Homemade lemonade with mint and lemon is a delicious, budget-friendly beverage that will save you from the sweltering summer heat, quench your thirst, and pleasantly invigorate you in 90-degree weather.
When the temperature gets too high, the last thing you want to do is stand in front of the stove. Therefore, it is delightful that this recipe does not involve heating anything up. Take lemons and ice out of the freezer, then grate, mix, shake, and enjoy!
