Lemon and fresh mint - ice slush

With the zingyness of freshly squeezed lemon and invigorating fresh mint - all brought together with smooth shards of blended ice - this non alcoholic drink is the perfect refresher for a hot summer day

Here's what you'll need:
1 large handful of washed, fresh mint leaves (or more - or less - depending on taste. I used more mint than required for the accompanying photos)
juice of 3 lemons 
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon citric acid (this helps preserve the colour and flavour) 
ice cubes


Here's how you make it:
Place all the ingredients in a blender, filling up to the top with ice cubes
- make sure the lid is on -
turn the machine on and watch as the magic unfolds...
the mint should be finely chopped and the ice a mushy slush
serve immediately with a sprig of mint as garnish.

to avoid brain freeze - it's quite ok to use a thick milkshake straw for slurping

there you have it - a nice invigorating summer drink - enjoy
