lemonade

For hot days, how about lemon balm lemonade?


Take 3-4 tablespoons of sugar in the bottom of a glass. Tear up some lemon balm (or mint) leaves and muddle them into the sugar with a spoon or a proper muddler, if you have one. Stir in the juice of half to one lemon (depending on juciness, of course). Add ice and top up with cold still or sparkling water. Herbs make good things even more refreshing!

(add an oz of gin if it's that kind of party)

Best enjoyed through a straw on a sunny afternoon!
