Mint Julep Lemonade. Hot summer days and nights are perfect for this non alcoholic Mint Julep Lemonade. If you have ever grown your own mint, you know what I didn't, that mint grows everywhere and anywhere and multiplies. If you ignore it, don't water it regularly, don't prune it--doesn't matter. It grows. With the abundant harvest of mint that I had, I decided that it was time to make a light, tangy refreshing pitcher of lemonade, and kicked it up a notch with the mint. Try it for yourself--it will be a favorite for summer sweet drinks.
