\"\" <\/span> When summer heats up in Israel, limonana<\/em> (frozen mint lemonade) becomes the drink of choice. The combination of lemons and spearmint (nana<\/em> in Hebrew) is cool and refreshing, even on the hottest of days. Whether served as a slushy blend or over ice, it is the perfect companion to a spot in the shade for an afternoon break.<\/p>\n

Blended Mint Lemonade<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \u00bd c. freshly squeezed lemon juice from about 4 lemons plus lemon peel for garnish<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc c. loosely packed mint leaves (with stems discarded) plus a few extra sprigs for garnish<\/li>\n
  • \u2153 to \u00bd c. fine sugar to taste (sugar substitutes or honey may be used instead)<\/li>\n
  • 1 c. cold water<\/li>\n
  • 3 c. large ice cubes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Place all of the ingredients, except ice cubes, in a blender and run on high speed until well mixed. If the mint leaves are not finely blended, it is best to run the mixture through a strainer. Add the ice cubes and blend until crushed thoroughly. Pour into glasses and serve with optional mint leaves and lemon peel garnish. If preferred as a drink rather than a slushy, increase the amount of water and serve with ice cubes to chill. Top with garnish.<\/p>\n
