 This is incredibly easy to make at home and a very welcome addition at any spring or summer setting. 

A homemade minty lemonade.

Making a concentrate means it can be regulated as you fancy, and is especially delicious combined with a sparkling water such as San Pellegrino.

The concentrate will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks and even makes a nice addition to seasonal cocktails or iced teas.
