Description
A refreshing, tangy, and sweet mint lemonade inspired by Middle Eastern flavors. This drink combines the coolness of mint and the tartness of limes for a perfectly balanced treat.
Ingredients
- 5–6 medium limes, sliced
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- In a high-powered blender, add the sliced limes, whole milk, cold water, granulated sugar, and fresh mint leaves.
- Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it may cause the drink to turn bitter.
- Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer to remove any pulp or solids.
- Serve over a glass filled with ice cubes. For the best taste and texture, enjoy the drink immediately!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, you can substitute whole milk with coconut milk or almond milk.
