Ingredients
6 lemons (juiced)
1 cup fresh mint leaves
¾ to 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
4 cups cold water
Ice cubes

Instructions
Start by squeezing fresh lemons to extract the juice. Make sure to remove any seeds for a smooth texture. Wash the mint leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt, then set them aside.

In a blender, combine the fresh lemon juice, mint leaves, sugar, and cold water. Blend everything together for about 30 seconds, or until the mint leaves are finely blended and fully mixed into the liquid. This step helps release the natural oils and flavor of the mint, giving the drink its signature freshness.

After blending, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more sugar. If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the mixture to remove the mint pulp, but this step is optional.

Pour the prepared mint lemon juice into glasses filled with ice cubes. Serve immediately while it’s cold and refreshing.

Serving Suggestions
Garnish with extra mint leaves or a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass for a beautiful presentation. You can also add a pinch of black salt or a splash of soda water for a fun twist.

This drink pairs well with spicy foods, snacks, or light meals, making it a versatile addition to your table.

Enjoy this fresh, homemade Mint Lemon Juice anytime you need a cool and energizing boost.
