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.

Step by step
Make it like a pro.
01
Stir the sugar into the measured cold water until dissolved. Wash the mint and weigh 3 g leaves after removing the coarse stems.
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.
03
Serve the full batch immediately in a large glass. Keep the blended mint and ice in the serving; do not strain.
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.
