Servings 1 person
Ingredients
- 1 cup red grapes halved
- 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
- 1 cup water
- 2 lemons juiced
Instructions
- Add grapes, mint, and water to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, mashing grapes with a fork or potato masher as they soften.
- Remove grape mixture from heat and strain with a fine mesh strainer, discarding solids.
- In a drinking glass or mason jar, combine the grape mixture and lemon juice. Serve over ice or chilled.
Notes
- You can use dried mint instead of fresh if desired, use 1/3 the amount listed.
- For a darker color, try using black concord grapes instead of red grapes.
- Garnish your lemonade with a slice of lemon and sprig of fresh mint.
- If your lemonade isn't sweet enough for your liking, add a little honey, agave nectar, or your preferred sweetener of choice.
- Keep any leftovers in a sealed mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
