This is the best Minted Limeade recipe on the web!!
U.S.A.: This summery refresher takes advantage of the perfumed oils in the skin of the lime as well as the sour juice of the pulp. This mint adds a cooling touch that's most welcome next to a hot grill.
_ limes or enough for 1 cup juice
_ c sugar, or more to taste
_ bunch fresh mint, rinsed and spun dry, 6 to 8 sprigs set aside for garnish
_ c water
Ice cubes, for serving
1. Remove the zest (oil-rich outer peel, green part only) from 4 of the limes, using a vegetable peeler. Combine the zest with 1 cup sugar, the mint, and 1 cup of the water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to disolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, then strain the mixture into a pitcher.
2. Press the juice from all the limes; you should have 1 cup. Add the juice and remaining 4 cups water to the sugar mixture; if a sweeter limeade is desired, whisk in extra sugar. Pour into tall glasses over ice, garnishing each serving with a sprig of mint.
