Ingredients

Lemon Structure

• Pulp of 3 lemons, seeds removed

Peel-Infused Simple Syrup

• ¾ cup (180 ml) water

• ¾ cup (150 g) white sugar

• Zest of 2 lemons (colored layer only, added off heat)

Blended Lemonade Base

• 240 ml fresh lemon juice

• 120–150 ml peel-infused simple syrup, to taste

• 1½–2 cups (360–480 ml) ice-cold water, start low

• 1 cup (about 140 g) ice cubes, for slushy texture

• ¾ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed

• Pinch of fine sea salt

To Serve

• Lemon slices

• Fresh mint leaves
(Ice is already inside the drink — do not serve over ice.)

Directions

Make the Peel-Infused Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and heat gently, stirring until fully dissolved without boiling; remove from heat, add the lemon zest, cover, and let steep for 10–15 minutes until aromatic, then strain and let the syrup cool completely.
Prepare the Blender Base
Add the lemon pulp, fresh lemon juice, 120 ml of the peel-infused syrup, mint leaves, pinch of fine sea salt, ice-cold water (start with 2½ cups), and ice cubes to a high-speed blender.
Blend
Blend on high until completely smooth and slushy, then taste and adjust carefully by adding more water if too thick, more ice if too thin, and a little more syrup only if needed; the final total water should land around 4 cups when accounting for melted ice.
Serve Immediately
Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, serving right away.

*Notes :

This is a blended lemonade, not lemonade with ice — texture is the point.
Mint should cool and lift, not dominate; too much turns it toothpaste-like fast.
Peel-infused syrup is non-negotiable — it keeps lemon flavor deep instead of harsh.
Best consumed immediately; mint oxidizes and goes bitter over time.
Do not chill after blending — serve fresh.
