Did you know your thirst is better quenched by something bitter? That’s what my husband says anyway. So, out with the soda and in with homestyle limeade (cousin of lemonade).
Mint Limenade Recipe
1.5L water
80g palm sugar
250ml lime juice (I used 3 large limes)
handful of mint
Dissolve the palm sugar in some hot water (minus the amount of water you use from the total needed). Once the sugar has dissolved, add the rest of the water and lime juice.
Bruise a handful of mint leaves (leave some on a stem for garnishing). This helps to release the fresh minty flavour. I did this by rubbing them together in my hands.
Drop the leaves in the mixture and stir. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before taking out the mint leaves to serve. Add some ice cubes on a hot day, and add the leftover mint leaves on the stem (just because it’s pretty).
Make sure you use your taste buds along the way, and adjust to suit your palate!

Of course! So simple… CanNOT wait to try this. xo
Yum!
This is great! I made my own instant version a month ago (Minute Maid and homegrown mint). Not as gourmet as your beautiful version, but the mint really makes it very nice!

This recipe looks delicious! It’s been so hot here lately. I think this is just what I need.
Very delicious! I made some of these for my kid’s lemonade stand and it was a hit! The combination of the mint and lemon was perfect.
The lemonade lately has been delicious And as a result I feel amazing for trying and conquering my own
This sounds brilliant
Does anyone know where I can find the kind of bottle in the last picture? I’ve been looking forever and would love to buy a few
Hi Tanner, the bottle is from Ikea!
I think we have a lot in common. Growing my own veggies and herbs, writing about all things fun and creative and you just know that I have to make this mint limeade!!!
Wonderful blog
If I had a “like” button I would like your comment! Checking out your blog now..!
You can improve this recipe a LOT by adding a bit of whey and salt – or some kombucha tea and lacto fermenting it. Yummy and so good for your body.
Love this quick and easy drink!
Do you have this recipe for us non-metric users? How much is 80 grams? Yikes.
I found the bottle at Ikea yesterday. It is so good. I am going to get some Cherry syrup to add to it.
lime aide maybe cause there is no lemons and with 80 grams of auger you should call it sugar water
So excited to try this. Where did you get that fantastic juicer with the wood handle in the first picture?
