I am just about to share an amazing recipe of a refreshably refreshing refresher made up of the things usually found in our kitchen. All you are going to need is a nice and juicy lemon, some mint leaves and a white fizzy drink. No matter how tired you are, this drink is sure going to freshen you up. I have been making this drink since quite some years now but it wasn’t until my recent visit to a famous international restaurant chain of fried chicken (if you know what I mean), that I ordered this drink and got the idea of sharing it with all of you. After having it, my friends were like “Wow! This is so refreshing.” I could easily guess the things blended in it since it is one of my all-time summers favourite and I have been making it for so long now. To formally put it down;

Ingredients for one serving:

Lemon                                                 1

Mint leaves                                      7 – 8

Water                                               ½ cup

White fizzy drink                            ½ cup

Ice                                                     ¼ cup

Sugar (optional)                        1 tablespoon

Instructions:

Squeeze the juice of one medium sized fresh lemon into half a cup of water. Add about 6 to 7 mint leaves into it and add sugar. Put it into a blender and blend until the mint leaves are completely dispersed throughout the drink. Add ice and blend for another half-a-minute. To serve, fill half the glass with fizzy drink and add the blended mixture into it.

Enjoy it and don’t forget to let me know how you like it.
