  1. I am a big fan of mint. Where I grew up in rural Canada there was a patch of wild mint in the woods and my mother used to make jelly out of it. Your drink sounds absolutely heavenly and the colour is divine!

    1. Thank you Elizabeth. I just read your About page on your blog. Great story! I am from Europe and I grew up there. I lived in US and now I am in Canada.

  2. I’m with you, I’m not a huge fan of mint in food but I really quite like it in drinks. I love the sound of this lemonade – sweet & tart at the same time.
