  1. I found this strange. It was kinda overpowered by the mint and not quite sweet enough for my taste. After you let it "rest" and put it on ice, it turned out to be kind of refreshing (but it still had a STRONG mint taste). It tasted very fresh, though. Made for the unrated Asian tag game.
     
  2. With a few adjustments, I loved this! I did add just a touch more sugar. I loved the mint flavor. I did quarter the recipe. Thanks for a refreshing drink! Made for the Asian Unrated game.
     
  3. This turned out very well for us. We liked it better than our regular lemonade. We did a little over 1/2 batch and used 5/8 tsp stevia. I have a spearmint plant that I put in this year, and since 1/2 bunch is kind of hard to gage, I started out with with 2 stems and it was just right for us. I wanted to mince them fine, so I put it all (except lemon slices) in the blender and blended for a bit, then let it chill for a couple hours, then strained the mint. We don't like chunks. We will make this again, as we make lemonade a lot (we can't have milk right now).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Australia, in the Blue Mountains (a national park the size of Belgium) and I really enjoy all things to do with food (especially the eating part). I used to work in theatre and casting in the UK, but now work in an antique/discerning junk shop in Australia. I enjoy collecting out of print and old church cook books and have way too many. I can't stand bad traffic, people who sniff, or white plastic garden furniture! If I had a month off I would most likely be asleep a lot of the time or eating dark chocolate, but If I had absolutely no responsibilities, you could find me at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris looking at the pictures.
