My mint, Haruko chan


I got two plants recently and they survived through the dry summer.  I had a history of ruining some plants before, so I named them and have been giving some love everyday.  My pot of mint, (her name is Haruko),  has grown up enough to become something else, so I gave her a chance to become mojito!

When you order mojito at restaurants and bars, they usually use club soda and sugar so 1 drink is about 160 calories I think.  I grinded fresh mints and splenda together,  and shook them with fresh lime juice , rum, and sparkling water.  It was so delicious that even Matt (who usually is really picky ) agreed.   
I never knew that it's so easy to make mojito, that's also low-cal! 

I eyeballed all of these so don't rely too much on the measurements, but here is the list of ingredients. Yep, so simple! 
calories- 1 tea spoon of splenda 
calories- 1 lime (juiced)
calories- some mint leaves
70 calories - white rum (2 - 4 oz)
 0 calories- sparkling water ( 4 oz)
