The Things You Need

  • Mint (Prefer the top part).
  • 1 Lemon.
  • Brown sugar.
  • A glass of cold water.
  • A Juicer.
  • A spray.
  • Two plates.

Put a Plate in the Freezer

Place a plate in the freezer. This will ease having ice on the mint leaves as they will be placed in a already cold surface.

The time needed for the preparation will be long enough to have the plate cold.

Prepare a Tasty Juice for the Ice

At step 2, before placing the plate in the freezer, it is possible to have a piece of tower paper on it.

The final ice layer is thin and it's taste like candy. :)
