Recipe: Lemon-Mint Juice ala Israel

Hi - You won't be getting many recipes from me. I don't like to cook and would order in or eat out all the time if we could afford it. However, today was Father's Day, we had friends over and I actually cooked (a little bit). I'm really taken with this recipe so thought I'd share.

A popular drink in Israel is a lemon-mint flavored soft drink. It has a slight fizz and isn't too sweet. Here is our attempt to re-create this drink at home -- our own original recipe:

Lemon Mint Juice ala Israel

2 cups ice cubes
2 lbs lemons
3 pints Sprite
one bunch fresh mint leaves
1 Tablespoon sugar

juice the lemons, strain seeds and add to pitcher, over ice cubes
add approx. 3 pints (3 16.9 oz bottles) Sprite
chop mint leaves add to pitcher
stir in 1 T sugar
