Lemonade, anyone?

We’re so in love with our Apricot Mint fragrance that we decided we’d try our hand at making Apricot Lemonade!  It’s perfect to make this time of year when it’s starting to get a bit chilly outside and you’re longing for summer to come once again.

1/4/ c. boiling water

1 c. chopped mint leaves

Juice of 6 lemons (cold)

Grated rind of 1 lemon

Juice of 3 apricots

1 c. superfine sugar

Pour boiling water on the mint leaves.  Add lemon juice, grated lemon rind and apricot juice.  Stir in sugar.   Refrigerate in a tightly capped bottle.  Pour enough of the liquid in a glass to make it 1/4 to 1/3 full; then add the fresh iced lemon juice.  Add ice.  The apricot mint syrup will keep well in the refrigerator for as long as 2 weeks.  Makes about 4 cups.

Enjoy!
