Middle Eastern Mint Lemonade
Updated: Jul 20, 2022

The OG of Arab non-alcoholic drinks, the Mint Lemonade. This is the most refreshing and most delightful you can make for yourself.
It's such a well-known drink back in the Middle East and I want to share the love with you guys.
If you're sitting by a pool, on a porch, or feel like a midday pick-me-up, this is the drink you're going to make.
Not only is it delightful, but it's nutritious. The lemon and mint are anti-inflammtory, anti-bacterial, high in vitamin C, and great for aiding in digestion. So, this is why I call it a "pick-me-up" because your body might need it! Did I mention you blend the entire lemon and not the juice - because the skin is the best part.
I'm all about enjoying non-alcoholic drinks in martini glasses too, so grab your lemon, mint, and honey and let me show you how to make it!
