Cool down this summer with this thirst quenching Mint Lime drink. A simple beverage consisting of fresh limes with mint leaves. This is the perfect way to compliment any weightloss goals or to simply sip on fruit infused water.
Refreshing is the most appropriate word at this time. This is the type of fruit infused drink that is guaranteed to quench your thirst on a boiling hot day..
You only need a few ingredients and less than 10 minutes to prepare this beverage from scratch.
Ingredients you will need
- Limes: Grab a few limes to infuse with the water.
- Water: You can't go wrong with ice cold water for a recipe such as this one!
- Sweetener of your choice: Agave, nectar, dates etc... this is optional
Mint lime drink is great for youth and beauty
I would even go as far as rendering this drink a beauty drink, that helps to repair the skin. Here's an interesting fact for you, this is a water soluble vitamin which means the body cannot store it.
we need to obtain it from food. The body will utilise what it requires and expel the excess via urine
Notes and Tips
- Adding any type of sweetener is an optional step, you don't have to if you don't want to.
- Additional mint leaves and lime will fully enhance the fruit/mint flavour.
- You DO NOT have to crush the ice in the blender. You are more than welcome to distribute the ice cubes into separate glasses.
- Top up. Once the water has been drunk, feel free to top up the pitcher with more water and a squeeze of time

This sounds perfectly refreshing. I love that it uses dates too.
Charla
It is indeed. The dates offer a slight hint of sweetness, certainly not overpowering though.
