It wasn’t until I arrived in the Middle East, more specifically, Saudi Arabia, that I saw the addition of mint in the mix. Lemon Mint was every where. From the prepackaged sugary variety at grocery stores to freshly squeezed versions at high end restaurants, it was the beverage of choice for the Saudi population. Much like berry flavored drinks are here in the United States.
The pairing of lemon and mint is so refreshing and gives one great benefits. What’s good to know is that just one lemon provides 51% of your daily recommendation of vitamin C.
Mint is full of antioxidants such as perillyl alcohol and rosmarinic acid as well as trace minerals and vitamins such as iron, vitamin A and potassium.
helps stop spread of cancer and treat certain allergies.
This refreshing mix of lemon and mint will become a favorite in your home this summer. Make it for the family with simple sugar syrup or honey and ditch the prepackaged version for good!
Juice the lemon and add to blender along with the rest of the ingredients except ice.
