Pepper-Mint Limeade

By Tamipri

This homemade limeade puts the 'pepper' in peppermint limeade. Sweet, but with a touch of jalapeno heat that surprises, it's ideal for hot summer days.

Ingredients

• 4 limes, juiced
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 sprigs fresh mint
• 1/2 gallon water
• 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
1. In a large pitcher, stir together the lime juice and sugar until dissolved. Stir in mint sprigs, and mash with a wooden spoon to release some of the oils. Pour in water, and mix well. Mix in jalapeno slices. Put a lid on the pitcher, and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight.
