05 -
Lemon wheels for decoration
06 -
Handful of ice
07 -
A few mint sprigs to finish
# Steps:
01 -
Drop some lemon slices and mint on top. Give it a little stir right before you hand it out so the taste mingles together.
02 -
Start by tossing a bunch of ice cubes in tall glasses. Pour the cold lemon mix over the ice.
03 -
Pop the whole pitcher in your fridge for at least half an hour so it gets really cold. Or skip this if you're in a rush.
04 -
Pour the chilly water in slowly, stirring as you go. If you like it sweeter, drizzle in a little simple syrup, taste, and add more until it's just right.
05 -
Whisk together the strained lemon juice and that thick condensed milk right in a big pitcher. Mix till it's smooth—no lumps allowed.
06 -
Roll lemons with your palm on the counter to squeeze out extra juice. Cut ‘em up, juice them all, and pour through a strainer to grab any bits or seeds till you hit 240 ml.
# Notes:
01 -
Try squashing some fresh berries or tossing in basil with your mint to bump up the taste.
