• Yield 6 Cups
• Ready in 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (blended until very fine (or use superfine sugar))
• 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 8 limes, depending on size)
• 14-16 fresh mint leaves
• 4 cups ginger ale (chilled)
• Lime wedges or slices for serving

Instructions

1. In a pitcher, whisk together the sugar, lime juice and mint leaves until the sugar dissolves. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 hours, the mint flavor will get stronger as it sits).
2. To serve, strain out the mint leaves and add the ginger ale and stir. Add ice cubes to glasses and pour in the limeade. Garnish with lime slices or wedges.

Give it a minute off the heat, then serve it while it is still hot.
