Minty Mirage 🍹
Hey hey everyone coming across, I hope y'all are staying cooollll hehe! 💛
It's summer already in my part of the world, and gosh, I'm not looking forward to hotter temperatures urgh! 🫠
I'm not a big time fan of summers (how ironic, but yes 😛) as you can tell xD but I do appreciate how seasons affect our choices and diet too!
Love experimenting summery recipes and specially cool-drinks to sip on, during this time of the year! 🍹
I tried this recipe a few days back and have made it thrice in 6 days, so yes, I looovee it that much and if you are into sweet, minty, refreshing cold beverages I think you'll like it too! 🥰
It is one of the easiestttt recipes to try ever and takes less than 10 minutes I think! (Procrastinating on it, included 😏)
What do you need? Mhmm, ingredients:
🍹A handful of fresh mint leaves (it's our protagonist lol)
🍹 Sweetener of your choice (honey, agave syrup, or sugar) - I'm really no fusss about these things and go all the way in xD so it's normal sugar for me to sweeten my drink, as yum as possible!
🍹 Juice of half a lemon (or one whole, if it's a small lemon, really depends how lemon-y flavor you want, I like mine at least with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice)
🍹 Ice cubes (lots of itttt, because coolerrrr, the better hehe)
- Water (duh?!)
🍹 A pinch of pink salt (or any salt you prefer, this is entirely optional too, but a little sprinkle of salt can really enhance the taste)
- A general note lol, always use some common sense and your own judgement for the quantities specially, you can increase/decrease the amount of any ingredients, also use any alternates you want to. Following recipes to the T isnt as fun, I think, we can always experiment and make them suit our taste and preference~ our own version of something, yes?!🥰
Okayyy we've got the ingredients, now what?
Blenddddd!
Seriously, that easy! Just put all the ingredients in a blender and blend untill smooth.
Pour into a glass, adjust the sweetness if you need, add some more crushed ice and maybe put a couple of mint leaves and a slice of lemon for the ✨drama✨!
No really, it looks prettyyyyy! 🍹
Last but not the least?
Sippityyy sipppp and thank me later as you sip away your summer worries! 😛
If you are trying this, I'd really love to know how it turned out for you and yes of course, if you have any summery, easy breazyy recipes to try, do share them here also! 💛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I promise I read your whole thread, but all I got from it is you saying it's summer where you are! *gasps* Winter just ended, technically, here! And, actually, today makes it officially spring where I am. Lol.
@YourCaringConfidant
Hahahaaha nooo, try the recipe too xD lol thank youu for reading the post, Desiree and yessss, it's "supposed" to be spring here as well and lowkey is lol, but spring is very short-lived and it's starting to get too hot already, so I'm considering it summers already lmao, spring lasted like 2 weeks! 😂 (laugh emoji but im really just - 😭 - wait does that mean eyes are sweating too?! ~ okay this totally sounded gross 🥴🤣😭)
I hope you're enjoying the spring season for youuu! 🤗🌻🤗🌻
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Lol 🌞, I had a wonderful laugh reading your reply. 🤣 Poor 🌞, awwww. I can relate with the short weather and weather being so unpredictable. Anyway, I love all those ingredients so I will definitely try it sometime. 😊 It sure sounds refreshing. My husband and I just went to the farmer's market the other day and got honey. Delicious, and it even had honeycomb in the jar. It tasted like wax. 😂

“procrastination included” lol .. Finally the recipe that understands me (and people like me) hehe .. This drink sounds so refreshing, I might just make it… in 3 to 5 business days (because you know.. commitment issues xD). *Cheers* to sipping away summer woes🥤🥳 I’ll report back once I stop *just thinking* about making it! XD
@VaryingCloud hahaha Cloudieee xD xD seee? I know you because I'm these "people like you" when it comes to procrastination lol! 😛 (😭)
But yes yes, its super refreshing and worth committing to xD so I hope you get to make it and try it soon also and yusss, do lemme knowww when you do! 🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hahaha I felt that Sunniee! 😂 Glad to know I’m not alone in ‘thinking about it is half the effort’ xD. But ok ok, since you vouch for it, I might just overcome my procrastination era and actually make it soonish. Stay tuned for updates (or excuses). XD xD
@VaryingCloud (or excuses) has me on the flooorrrr lmaoo!😭😂😭smh smh Cloudieeeee! XD xD
If you want me to annoy you till you make this, then just Say. The. Word. You know I'll be happy to annoy you! 😎😈😛
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
xD xD
*You* can’t annoy me! you’re way too much of a fav for that xD
But.. you can try your luck hehe! Let’s see what you’ve got! Challenge - ON! XD xD 🥰❤️🤗
@VaryingCloud I miss youuu! 😭💖
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
*hugssss*
Miss you too ❤️
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Just reading this makes me so thirsty and it's summer here, but feeling too lazy to make it 😅 Waiting for an invite to the mint cooling party 😀
@communicativeJet616 Hahah trust me I'm lazyyy too and yet this is something I've been making every 3-4 days lol, if you have all the basic ingredients (mint leaves, sweetener, water/ice, lemon juice) ready it doesn't take more than 2 minutes to blend and pour into a glass. 🍹
The refreshing taste of this summer special drink really makes it worth all the hassle of overcoming the initial "do I really have tooooo- laziness" xD for me hehe!
Till then though, sure thing *throws a virtual mint cooling partyyyy* enjoysieeees, Jet! 🤗
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Yaay thanks for the minty party and the cool recipe. It was really refreshing and tastes so good 😋
