Lovely, you'll appreciate this refreshing and energizing home lemonade made with lime, ginger, and fresh mint. 3 ingredients to offer you the zing, zesty and 

Summer is proving to be very hot. Here in Europe, we are experiencing the 2nd heatwave! The best time to hydrate ourselves with this nutrient-dense, freshly homemade ginger-mint lemonade.

The best thing about this lemonade is that it's made with fresh ingredients and is very healthy. No sugar or syrup is added, making this ginger-mint lemonade fit for weight loss.

For those with diabetes, use fewer grapes or omit them altogether. 

This lemonade is particularly rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C helps fight pathogens and is a powerful antioxidant. We definitely need this vitamin now that we have high picks of Covid19!

Tip to make this ginger lemonade

I love using whole ingredients and filtering the juice after that. 

  • Store all ingredients in the fridge before blending to have a cool drink.
  • Use a high-speed blender.
  • Roll the lime/lemon on your working surface to get the most juice. The pressure will release the juice from the pulp.
  • Peel lime or lemons by running a knife between the flesh and the skin. Cut the flesh into pieces before adding them to the blender.
  • Filter the mix using a fine strainer mesh to remove the fibrous residue. Use a spoon to press out more juice from the residue. 
  • It's okay to let some fine fiber go through the mesh.
  • See the recipe card for the full recipe.
  • I've found that the lemonade changes its green color when stored in the fridge for later.

I shared this lemonade with my neighbors, who appreciated it. They said it was pretty good, refreshing with a zesty flavor.

I hope you will enjoy it and get all the health benefits. I am looking forward to your reviews.

You have the power of healing yourself, Githu.
