Mint Limeaid

A cool, refreshing summer drink!

I made this twice as the first pitcher was consumed almost immediately after it was made. The first time around I chopped up the mint and then crushed it against the side of the pitcher, but even after I removed most of it my son said he liked the taste, but not the bits of mint in the drink, so the second time I used mint extract and just garnished with mint leaves that he can pick out. If using fresh mint leaves, put them in the pitcher first.

Description

I made this twice as the first pitcher was consumed almost immediately after it was made. The first time around I chopped up the mint and then crushed it against the side of the pitcher, but even after I removed most of it my son said he liked the taste, but not the bits of mint in the drink, so the second time I used mint extract and just garnished with mint leaves that he can pick out. If using fresh mint leaves, put them in the pitcher first.

Instructions

  1. Small limeaid

    Pour the can of limeaid (I let it thaw in the fridge first to make it easier to mix) into the pitcher

  2. Small screenhunter 05 2bjul. 2b16 2b04.00

    Pour in the cans of Sprite Zero

  3. Small screenhunter 01 2bjul. 2b16 2b07.44

    Add in the 1/2 tsp-1 tsp (I used 1/2 tsp) to the pitcher. Chop up the lime, then add it and the mint leaves to the pitcher for garnishing.
