Mojito Limeade

 

Mojito Limeade 

What you’ll need

3 cups of water 

1 cup of sugar 

3/4 limes depending on your taste 

a few springs of mint 

ice cubes

Grenadine Syrup

 

What you do

Get a small stainless steel pot and put 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar on the stove on high..

Wait till the mixture reaches a boil and turn the stove off as soon as it does.. 

Give the pot a quick swirl to make sure the sugar is completely dissolved and set it aside to cool.. 

Next.. put a strainer over a bowl and squeeze the juice out of the limes into the strainer so that the pulp stays in the strainer and the juice reaches the bowl below..

Remove the strainer after you have juiced your limes and add the remaining 2 cups of water to the lime juice.. 

Then.. add a few ice cubes to the lime juice and water to make sure it’s nice and cold..then pour the sugar and water mixture from the stove into the lime juice and water mixture in the bowl..stir 

Next.. take a few mint springs and with the handle of a knife gently hammer the mint springs.. this is so the juices of the mint can get into the drink.. toss the mint into the bowl.. 

Finally.. get some grenadine syrup and pour a small amount into the mixture and stir or don’t stir to achieve the effect in the picture.. then leave your juice in the fridge for at least an hour till it’s nice and cold and serve.. 

enjoy…
