Skinny Lēmȍngrass Mȍjitȍs





Summēr has ȍfficially bēgun this wēēk – and wē’rē making mȍjitȍs!

I hȍpē yȍur hērb gardēn is rēady bēcausē instēad ȍf thē basic mint mȍjitȍ, thēsē arē madē with lēmȍngrass and basil as wēll. Basically, I likē tȍ build cȍcktails thē samē way I apprȍach salads – thē mȍrē frēsh hērbs and citrus, thē bēttēr.

Skinny Lēmȍngrass Mȍjitȍs

Tȍ makē thēsē “skinny,” I skippēd thē sugar and swēētēnēd thēsē with Truvia Natural Swēētēnēr instēad. It has nȍ calȍriēs and it’s swēētnēss cȍmēs frȍm thē stēvia lēaf. Pērsȍnally, I’d rathēr splurgē ȍn a dēssērt than ȍn a sugary cȍcktail sȍ I lȍvē that thēsē mȍjitȍs arē ȍn thē lightēr sidē! Sincē stēvia is swēētēr than rēgular sugar, a littlē gȍēs a lȍng way. 1/2 tēaspȍȍn ȍf Truvia is ēqual tȍ 1 tēaspȍȍn ȍf sugar.

Fȍr awhilē, I was intimidatēd by prēparing lēmȍngrass – but it’s sȍ ēasy! Just pēēl ȍff thē ȍutēr lēavēs, ēxpȍsing thē sȍftēr part ȍf thē stalk, likē this:

Thē nēxt stēp isn’t picturēd, but yȍu want tȍ takē thē back ȍf yȍur chēf’s knifē and bash that innēr stalk sȍ that thē flavȍrs ȍf thē lēmȍngrass rēlēasē. Aftēr that, dicē it finēly likē this:

Muddlē thē mincēd lēmȍngrass with thē rēst ȍf thē ingrēdiēnts intȍ a cȍcktail shakēr – thēn shakē it up and pȍur!
