I will be making this and the muffins tomorrow, but do you make your limeade with Mint from scratch and if so, HOW? please, I have a lime tree and mint in my garden. My firemen that I bake for love the bread I make for them and the Carti Di Musica . Can't wait till I am in Vermont for all of the classes I am taking with you.
Hi Judy - Combine 1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves, lightly packed, with 1 cup each sugar and water. Simmer 2 minutes. Let cool, then strain syrup into a jar, discarding leaves. Store syrup in fridge. Mix syrup with fresh-squeezed lime juice and water to taste. We look forward to welcoming you to our BEC here in Vermont! PJH
