Not as easy as her Cloudy Lemonade but as delicious! From Nigella Lawson

Mint and Lime cool aid

  • 8 limes (1 cup juice)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • bunch fresh mint, some sprigs reserved for pitcher later
  • 5 cups water
  • ice cubes.

Remove zest of 4 of the limes using a veg peeler or a zester and put this along with the sugar, mint, and 1 cup of the water into a saucepan.  Bring this to a boil and stir to dissolve sugar.  Let this mixture simmer in pan for 5 minutes after boil.  Cool, strain into pitcher.  Squeeze limes to make 1 cup plus 2 tbls of juice then add water and sugar mixture into pitcher.  Add ice cubes and springs of mint.

Looks like I will have another messy kitchen today! (more…)
