- Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, slowly increase it to its highest speed, and blend for 1 minute, using the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.

Notes

Loved this drink
This recipe is amazing and easy to do, love it done in the AER, first experiment using the AER and I'm sold on it. Made the most cooling drink with no sugar added on a hot summer day or actually anytime.

A refreshing summer drink!
It was a big hit with lime and a sprig of mint. Added a little organic sugar to offset the tartness of lime. Delicious!

Modified and better than expected
Using some already frozen coconut meat, I added a few pieces of that, with two full slices of lemon, and fresh mint form the garden, plus a squirt of sunnydew liquid stevia, then topped off with a few cubes of ice and it turned out better than I hoped.

i like to peel the entire lemon and get rid of the pith so it wouldn't be so bitter. other than that, tastes just like home

sweet and simple
I made this a few times and added blueberries for a twist. I also tried straining it, but really it was great without.

With some amendments
I don't use the Aer disc, but I do sneak some veggies in. I scale it down for my 20 ounce container, do half a lemon, half a lime, and add 42 grams frozen carrots and 42 grams frozen yellow/summer squash and about 5 grams of psyllium fiber. A great way to sneak stuff in.
