Mint Limeade

Our Far Rockaway Educational Campus mint is thriving this summer. Students put it to work in a mint limeade, a simple, refreshing way to turn what’s growing on the farm into something worth sharing.


Ingredients (TFFJ Produce Highlighted 🌿)

  • For a 64oz jar, you’ll want to use 8-10 limes
  • 1 bunch of mint leaves 🌿
  • Honey or sugar to taste

Directions

  1. Squeeze your lime juice into a bowl. Afterward, take a strainer and use it as you pour the lime juice into your jar. This way you don’t get any seeds in your limeade
  2. Fill your jar with water and place the mint leaves inside
  3. Add honey or sugar to taste
  4. Mix well and let the limeade sit for 2-3 minutes so that all the flavors are absorbed
  5. Serve cold or with ice

Enjoy!
