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.

While some combinations need infusing, this is perfect whizzed up in a blender, strained and enjoyed immediately over ice or chilled for drinking over a few days. If you're in a hurry, this is a great go to hydrator.
