Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- ½ cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 10-12 Mint Leaves
- 3½ cup Chilled Water (you can also use sparkling water)
- ½ tsp Black Salt
- 2 Lemon Slice (for serving)
- 4 Ice Cubes (for serving)
Instructions
- Squeeze ½ cup worth of fresh lemon juice. Make sure there aren’t any seeds.
- Add 3 tbsp honey to the lemon juice and whisk it until the honey is dissolved.
- Take 10-12 mint leaves, wash them, tear a few of them by hand and keep few of them whole. Add them to the lemon honey mixture.
- With the help of a muddler, muddle the mint leaves to extract the optimum flavor. If you don’t have a muddler, use the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add this mixture into 3 and ½ cups of chilled water.
- Add ½ tsp of Black Salt to the lemonade and give it a stir.
- Pour them in the serving glass, add few ice cubes, lemon slice and relish!
Notes
- It is important that you whisk the honey in the lemon juice and not directly in the water as honey doesn’t dissolve in cold water.
- You can always alter the proportion of lemon to honey as per your preference of sour/sweet lemonade.
- This recipe makes for 2 large mason jars. For larger quantities, simply multiply the measurements of the ingredients for the number of servings you wish to make.
