A classic for a reason, this timeless combination of summer soaked flavours of zesty lemon and invigorating mint is quick and simple to prepare.
Lemon, known for its tangy and bright taste, is a fantastic source of vitamin C and antioxidants. It helps boost your immune system, aids digestion, and adds a refreshing twist to any beverage. Paired with the cooling and aromatic properties of mint, this classic combination creates a drink that not only cools you down but also uplifts your senses.
