Ingredients
25 mint leaves, divided
½ cup sugar or Selati Sweetener
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup sparkling water
Instructions
1. To make a mint simple syrup, heat up the sugar, water and 15 mint leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3 minutes and remove from the heat. Without removing the mint, chill the simple syrup for at least an hour in the refrigerator. Strain and discard the mint.
2. Stir the simple syrup together with the orange juice, lime juice, sparkling water and remaining mint leaves. Pour into the Zoku Slush & Shake Maker and stir until slushy. Serve immediately. Alternatively blend in a food processor with a handful of ice cubes.
