- 0.5 teaspoons Almond extract
- 1.5 liters Cold water

- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 2 pieces Sliced lime (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Juice the limes and the lemon into a medium-sized bowl, ensuring you remove the seeds. You should yield about 3/4 cup (180ml) of fresh citrus juice.
Step 2
Dissolve the granulated sugar in the citrus juice by stirring vigorously with a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add the almond extract to the sweetened citrus juice, stirring to combine. Be careful not to use more almond extract, as it has a strong flavor.
Step 4
In a large pitcher, combine the citrus mixture with the cold water. Stir well to incorporate and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or water according to taste.
Step 5
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the almond and lime lemonade over the ice.
Step 6
Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of lime, if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing blend of citrus and almond flavors!
