Hint Of Mint Lemonade

By

It’s heating up here in NE Ohio. We are in the 40’s, with 50’s soon to come. With the Cold, with a capital C, weather we’ve been having, 40 degrees is feeling like 80 degrees right about now. So I am not kidding when I say I am ready for a nice, refreshing glass of hint of mint lemonade.

A Real Thirst Quencher

Hint Of Mint Lemonade

Apparently, lemon mint drinks are popular thirst quenchers in Omani cafes. I can’t wait until the day that I can hop on a plane to Muscat and see for myself. But for today, I was quite content to finish my 2nd day coaching high school tennis knowing I could rehydrate after practice with a glass of hint of mint lemonade that was chilling in the fridge.

4 Ingredients From Refreshment

Hint Of Mint Lemonade

The best part about this recipe is knowing you are only 4 ingredients away from refreshment, or should I say refreshmint? 

Ingredients

  • 1 59-64 oz bottle of lemonade. I used Simply Real Lemonade.
  • 1 tablespoon orange water
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped mint leaves
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Instructions

  •  To make the orange water, cut an orange into slices leaving the rind on. Place the slices into a tall glass of water. Refrigerate a few hours or overnight.
  • Pour the entire bottle of lemonade in a pitcher
  • Add one Tbsp orange water and mint leaves and stir
  • Place pitcher in fridge for a few hours to let the orange and mint infuse the lemonade
  • When ready to serve add the crushed ice to the pitcher
  • Use a sieve to strain the leaves while pour lemonade into serving glasses. I actually placed a sieve over a large glass measuring cup, poured the lemonade into the measuring cup, and then poured the strained lemonade from the measuring cup into glasses.
  • That’s It! Very Simple.

A Refreshing Verdict

Both of my daughters loved hint of mint lemonade. I had to smile after my older daughter took a big gulp and belted out, “Refreshing!”

My thoughts exactly…

If you want a refreshing experience, I suggest trying this recipe out for yourself. Bring the entire pitcher outside, pour a tall glass full, and imagine you are relaxing in Oman.

      I know…I never thought of combining mint and lemon until I read about people combining these flavors in the Middle East for a refreshing drink. This will be a new go to drink for our family this summer!

    That’s all that I order when it’s hot over here in Saudi Arabia! Now I finally know how to make it myself. Thanks!

      You definitely need some refreshment in 90 degree heat! It’s snowing here today, so can I borrow some of that heat?
