Mojit-No
2 fresh limes
fresh mint (small handful of smallish-sized leaves)
sparkling water (I like San Pellegrino)
ice cub tray
Preparation:
This is a variation on the (very delicious) Mojito either for when one doesn’t want alcohol or simply wants a light (notice the water being used instead of club soda), refreshing summer beverage.
Slice at least one of the limes into small wedges. Carefully rinse off the fresh mint leaves. Fill all of the holes of a standard ice cube tray halfway with water. Place a single mint leave in half of the holes and fill up with water. Now, for the lime slices, do the same, but squeeze lightly into each section to infuse the cube with more of a lime flavor, press the lime slices in there, fill up the rest of the way with water and freeze.
When the ice cubes are done just drop one of two of each flavor in a glass, fill with the sparkling water and garnish with another lime slice or two and/or more mint leaves.
