Frozen Mint Lemonade

Here the mint is blended and consumed, rather than used only as a garnish. A measured water-to-ice balance makes a slush that differs from a still pitcher of fruit lemonade.

Make it like a pro.

  1. 01

    Stir the sugar into the measured cold water until dissolved. Wash the mint and weigh 3 g leaves after removing the coarse stems.

  2. 02

    Put the lemon juice, sugar water, mint leaves and weighed ice in a blender rated for ice crushing. Pulse to break the ice, then blend briefly to a uniform spoonable slush.

  3. 03

    Serve the full batch immediately in a large glass. Keep the blended mint and ice in the serving; do not strain.

Easy swaps

  • Use 30 mL lime juice in place of the lemon for a different citrus slush; recalculate the citrus portion.
  • Use 10 g sugar instead of 15 g for a tarter version with less added sugar; the slush may taste sharper as it melts.

Mixpert tips

  • Crushed ice is easier on a small blender than large hard cubes; use the same 140 g total.
  • Blend only until the ice is fine, since prolonged blending warms and thins the slush.

Frozen Mint Lemonade FAQs

Is frozen mint lemonade the same as mint-infused lemonade?

No. This limonana-style version blends the mint leaves and ice into the drink. An infusion removes leaves and a still lemonade has a different texture and ingredient basis.

Why did my limonana melt quickly?

Warm water, a warm blender jug or a long blend can melt the measured ice. Start cold and blend just long enough to crush the ice; the slush is intended for immediate serving.

Do the mint leaves count in the nutrition?

Yes. The entire 3 g leaf portion stays in the drink. Coarse stems are removed before weighing and are not counted as consumed.
