Sip on this sweet and sour delight, served in a small glass jug topped with green apple foam and speckled with fresh mint for an authentic feel.
LIMONADA
(Serves 2)
What you’ll need
1 large Granny Smith apple, roughly chopped
⅓ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
5 fresh mint leaves
Ice
Water
⅓ cup sugar or agave syrup to taste
The how-to
Place the apple, lime juice and mint leaves into a blender. Add water and ice to make up 1 litre.
Blend until the apple is completely liquidised and the lemonade frothy.
Either add the sugar to the blender or make a sugar syrup and serve separately in a little jug.
For the syrup, dissolve the sugar in a little water over a low heat, then leave the mixture to thicken for a few minutes before setting aside to cool.
Serve in a large glass pitcher with glasses chilled to frosted perfection.
