MOROCCAN MINT LEMONADE RECIPE

While in Fes, Morocco we fell in love with the beverages. You’d find freshly squeezed OJ sold streetside, avocado smoothies (try them with OJ!), and the most delicious mint lemonade.

This weekend in Austin, it hit 100+ scorching degrees. After spending three straight days at the Hot Luck Food Festival, we were PARCHED. We reminisced about the refreshing mint lemonade from Morocco and set out on a mission to recreate it.

This recipe isn’t an exact replica of the drink we had at Cafe Clock, but it’s pretty darn tasty. We even plan on sneaking in a shot of vodka into a glass of this mint lemonade to enjoy poolside this summer!

REFRESHING, MINT LEMONADE

Makes 1 full pitcher, about 6 glasses

Ingredients:

• 2 lemons, cut into small pieces, skins on, with seeds removed
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 35 leaves of fresh mint
• 4 cups cold water
• 2 cups ice
• 1 cup of granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until all the lemon pieces are pureed, about 3 minutes. Empty the blender though a fine mesh strainer, into a pitcher. Discard the pulp. Serve the mint lemonade over ice with additional mint garnish.
