tasty tuesday {summer cool down}

With the weather getting warmer and warmer (high 90s tomorrow and Thursday! yuck!), its fun to come up with little things to help cool you down. This weekend, I was watering our little garden and picked a sprig of spearmint that I wanted to use in a drink. I remember this yummy granita lemonade that I had a few times at a local restaurant, so I decided to make my own.

If you can make lemonade, you can make this... and it is so yummy.

Find your favorite lemonade recipe. I used a good sized sprig of mint for one serving, so grab enough mint for however many servings you are making. Combine mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, water, and ice in a blender and pulse until smooth.

This is the perfect summer treat!
