Blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mint is fully blended.

Strain the lemonade through a fine mesh strainer to remove foam, seeds, and mint bits.

Pour the strained lemonade over ice cubes in a pitcher or glasses.

Chill in the fridge for a few hours for best flavor or serve immediately over ice.
