Here's the recipe:

1 Grapefruit

1 Cup of Water

Sugar to taste (about just over 1/4 cup)

1 handful of mint leaves

Ice and extra mint leaves for garnish

Directions:

Boil the sugar, water and mint leaves until the sugar has just dissolved. Sieve out the mint leaves if desired (which is what I did) for a more subtle mint taste. Juice the grapefruit and add the juice and the sugar mixture into a blender. Blend until just incorporated.  Cool in the freezer before serving with ice cubes and mint leaves.
