Lime Refresher

On a hot summer’s day, there’s nothing like a refreshing beverage to help you cool down after work or play. This recipe is essentially a limeade meets latte and is so cool and delicious, and this version is completely lactose-free.

We like to keep fresh citrus on hand from time to time (usually seedless mandarins for making fresh OJ), but this time I decided to go with a lime drink and use some of our abundant fresh mint both in the drink itself and as a garnish.

— Lime Refresher —

Ingredients —

• 6-7 limes (quartered)
• 2 cups whole lactaid milk (lactose-free milk)
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 orange (or regular) mint leaves (plus more for garnish)
• Ice cubes

Directions —

In a food processor combine limes, whole milk, cold water, sugar, and fresh mint leaves. Blend the mixture until well combined. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp/solids into a pitcher. Use the back of a spoon to push through any liquid. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
