Homemade lemonade

Yes, of course, lemonade is not classic Icelandic cuisine! But in Iceland there are also warm days in summer, so from 60 °F (15 °C) onwards it is called “midsummer” for the Icelanders, and that also means a delicious refreshing drink.

Ingredients for 2 people

500 ml mineral water
1 organic lemon
3 Tbsp maple syrup
4 stalks of mint
1 Tbsp fresh blueberries
6 - 8 ice cubes


Preparation

Squeeze the lemon.

Mix the lemon juice with the maple syrup.

Pour the mixture into a jug and add some of the mint and some of the blueberries.

Pour in the mineral water and let it steep a little (for the desired flavor).

Arrange the ice cubes in the glasses with the remaining blueberries and some mint,...

...pour on the lemonade and enjoy.
