MINT LEMONADE

This mint lemon juice or mint lemonade has been my drink of choice on summer days. In summer I would recommend making a full jar of mint lemonade for a whole day.

Lemonade is the best option for keeping us hydrated this summer especially if you are not drinking plain water very frequently. While adding various flavors to the lemonade has health benefits it also makes the plain lemonade more delicious.

We produced the mint leaves in our kitchen garden. There are many ways of using mint leaves some of them are for garnish, in chutneys, pulao varieties I also add make mint raita, mint lemonade recipes. We also add mint leaves to my virgin mojito.

Benefits of mint leaves:

Mint is very good for us with so many health benefits. It is very refreshing and especially in summer, we should be including more pudina or mint leaves in our diet.

But more often in summers, not everyone can grow mint leaves because the mint plant needs plenty of water and clean surrounding, but this summer we are unable to grow (save) the mint plant. So I was generally looking for mint powder in the market, least company makes mint powder but then I found the Ciba Mint powder in the market.

 

Believe me, I have used it and this takes the same as the organic one I have solved my problem for this summer

Let me teach you to how to make mint lemonade from Ciba Mint Powder.

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 Tbsp. sugar
  • ½ Tbsp. of Ciba Mint Powder
  • ½ Tbsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. black salt optional
  • ½ Tbsp. ground black pepper
  • 32oz cold water
  • ⅛ Tbsp. roasted ground cumin powder to garnish
  • Ice cubes

PROCEDURE

First, we have to make sweet water

  • We generally add sugar directly into lemonade, this is a mistake we every time do. But I’ll teach you how to make sweet water for lemonade.
  • Take a pan, put some water and add 8 Tbsp. Spoon of sugar in it, boil it for 5 – 10 minutes until sugar dissolves into water and mixture turns into slightly hard form, put aside for cool. We made the sweet water for our lemonade.

 

 

Now its turn to make a lemonade solution

  • Blend the Ciba Mint powder and lemon juice into the paste. Add salt, black salt, and black pepper. Blend it.
  • Now Mix the lemonade solution with sweet water (according to the taste) that we made earlier.
  • Now add water and ice cubes with the lemonade solution. And garnish with a slice of lime.
