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

Ok, so this Mint Kiwi Lemonade is super-easy, but that’s not the best part. When I made it for my kids, Saturday afternoon when I normally make a big pitcher of lemonade, they were, at first, confused. It’s such a different flavor–and kind of a different look, too. But, they were brave and the LOOKS ON THEIR FACES! I really wish I’d gotten a shot. It was like my son expected a rotten apple in his mouth and got a fresh grape instead…he was so very surprised. And my daughter–well, her expressions were just silly, but she is 2. Whatever. LOL!

Ingredients

• 2 large lemons
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 cups kiwis about 6
• 1 gallon water
• 3 sprigs fresh mint
• 1 kiwi for garnish

Instructions

1. Pop the lemons in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
2. Once you remove the lemons from the microwave, roll them on the counter under your elbow.
3. Both of these initial steps are to create as much lemon juice as possible.
4. Slice lemons in half and squeeze into a strainer (you don't want any seeds) before pouring into a gallon-sized pitcher.
5. 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.
6. ..............
