Recipe: Lemon-Mint Cooler

By Khalil Hymore

When the temperatures soar, I whip up a pitcher of these nonalcoholic drinks to cool off. They are sort of like a grown-up Slurpee. The lemon and mint are refreshing and delicious and, sometimes, when I am feeling adventurous, I substitute fresh basil or fresh cilantro instead of mint.
