Make your own Mojitos and have a party... or a romantic evening with your significant other, watching the sunset. This drink is easy to make and very refreshing at the end of a hot summer day. It will be much less expensive than going to a fancy bar, too.

Ingredients
  • 5 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup
  • 1 (1-1/2 ounce) shot rum (or leave out for virgin version)
  • 1/2 medium lime
  • ice
  • club soda
Garnish:
  • 1 sprig mint
Servings: person

Instructions
  1. Place 5 leaves of mint in the bottom of a large glass or in a 16-ounce mason jar. Add simple syrup. We suggest you start with 1 tablespoon, then add more as desired later, until you know how much you want to use each time.
  2. If you have a muddler, use that to break up the mint and mix the two together. (If not, skip this step.)
  3. Squeeze juice from the lime half into a separate container. Add half of the juice now.
  4. Add rum, or skip this step if making a virgin Mojito.
  5. Add ice to fill the glass. (If you did not use a muddler, we recommend shaking up the glass at this point. You will want to have something to cover the top of the glass, or transfer it to a mason jar with a lid.)
  6. Add club soda to fill the glass. Stir.
  7. Pour the remaining lime juice on top. Garnish with the sprig of mint. (Add more simple syrup, if desired.)

1. To provide simple, clear steps for setting up your first, probably small kitchen with a minimal amount of equipment and investment.

2. To teach you cooking basics,  terminology and terms, and common conversions and equivalents.

3. To inspire you with healthful, easy recipes.

When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
