Mint-Zinger Delight

This is pleasant little drink that is similar Disneyland’s non-alcoholic mint julep. I made it up myself today after a rather exhausting hike which led to a mint crave. Not having many materials in the house I decided to see what I could do with two small lemons and some mint. Enjoy!
