Lemonade with mint

Lemonade with mint.

Here it's a recipe for the summer hot days that all family will love!

Why is lemonade so refreshing?
Lemonade is refreshing mainly due to the sour flavours that stimulate production of saliva (more than other tastes).
In terms of nutrition, it’s a great source of vitamin C, which can help with the immune system and absorption of iron, if consumed with iron source foods.

Ingredients (8 portions)

• 1 liter of water
• 2 lemons (60 ml)
• Half a glass of sugar (100 g)
• A handful of fresh mint leaves (10 g)
• 2 tablespoons of milk (30 g)

Method

1. Squeeze the lemons.
2. Wash fresh mint.
3. In a blender, mix the lemon juice, fresh mint, water, sugar and milk. Blend it very well.
4. Reserve in the refrigerator until consumed.

For a low calorie option, replace sugar by sweetener.​
