Lemonade for those hot days when life gives you lemons. This is a basic lemonade with a twist. Adding mint to the lemonade makes it have a refreshing effect on this classic drink.Start with a pitcher filled with ice. Fill the pitcher with water until you have about 4 inches on the top left. Add about a cup of sugar and half a cup of lemon juice (fresh is best). Play around with the amounts to suit your individual tastes. Once you get the lemonade the way you want it, add some fresh mint leaves. I find it best if you break them apart in your hands before adding them. It is great right away but the mint flavor gets stronger if you let it sit for a bit in the fridge. A variation for those of you with herb gardens is to use some thyme leaves or lemon balm leaves.
