Refreshing mint limeade

πŸ‹Are you more of a lemon or lime person?

Lemon has always been my favorite citrus. I'm all about that lemonade or lemon pie. πŸ˜‹ With time, I learned to also love lime in soups, guacamole and limeade.

Since I had a lot of it in my fridge this summer, I got inspired by science et fourchette deluxe basil lemonade recipe, and I made my own limeade with mint and what I had in my pantry.

For 1L of limeade

Ingredients

  • Zest of 2-3 limes
  • 1 cup of lime juice
  • 1/2 cup of maple syrup
  • 3 cups of water
  • 5-6 mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade
  • 1 tablespoon of chia seed

Preparation

  1. In a pitcher put all the ingredients and mix everything well.
  2. Let the chia seeds sit for 15 minutes to gel and serve.

NOTE: it is possible to do as a science et fourchette and put everything in a blender to have a homogeneous mixture. πŸ™‚
