This is a very popular drink in the Middle East. I've made it diabetic friendly to enjoy guilt free.

How To Make limonana – frozen mint lemonade, diabetic

1
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water and sugar till the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and allow to cool. In a blender, combine the sugar water, fresh lemon juice, ice, fresh mint leaves and remaining 1 cup of water

2
Pulse for a few seconds, then blend for 1 minute till the ice is thoroughly crushed and the drink becomes thick and slushy. Taste it. This recipe produces a mildly sweet limonana, which is the way it's usually served. If you would like it sweeter simply add more Splenda to taste and blend again. Pour into cold glasses and serve. Garnish with sprigs of mint, if desired.
