MINT KIWI-ADE (AKA MINT KIWI LEMONADE FOR THE UNINITIATED)

Read...

INGREDIENTS

1. 2 large lemons
2. ½ cup sugar
3. 3 cups kiwis (about 6)
4. 1 gallon water
5. 3 sprigs fresh mint
6. 1 kiwi for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

• Pop the lemons in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
• Once you remove the lemons from the microwave, roll them on the counter under your elbow.
• Both of these initial steps are to create as much lemon juice as possible.
• Slice lemons in half and squeeze into a strainer (you don't want any seeds) before pouring into a gallon-sized pitcher.
• Peel kiwis and place in the food processor or blender (I have a blender but no food processor, so there's that) for about 1 minute until completely mashed, smashed and otherwise obliterated.
• Put kiwi pulp into lemon juice.
• Add water and sugar.
• Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Mash mint sprigs and stir into the lemonade, to taste.
• Slice remaining kiwi in thin slices and drop into the drink.
• Serve to those parched, thirsty guests of yours! LOL!
