A welcome drink which is made with all natural ingredients. Healthy and refreshing.
Pick the mint leaves and wash in running water.
Heat water in a vessel and add sugar to it. Let the sugar dissolve; filter the sugar syrup with a thin muslin cloth. Boil it further on medium heat till the syrup becomes a bit thick, about 20 minutes. Take off heat and cool the syrup.
Add the mint leaves, grated ginger and juice of lemons. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours to let the mint flavor seep into the syrup.
Discard the leaves and other ingredients. Add green color if required. Store the concentrate in a clean glass bottle.
To make the drink, pour about 1 tablespoon of the concentrate and add water to suit your taste. Top it with crushed ice and serve the refreshing minty-lemony drink.

I tried this one today, and I am sorry to say, that we just did not like it.
after the 5 hour wait it had very little flavor at all, so I let it sit a few more hours. Then it was just mostly a sugar with mint drink. Not too exciting.
I think it might be improved by adding a large quantity of lemon or lime juice which would make it like a mint julep.

This looks so refreshing! I love how mint, ginger, and lemon together create that naturally cooling and detoxifying taste. In our tribal regions, we often pair such herbal drinks with pure forest honey instead of sugar — it enhances the flavor and adds real health benefits too. I personally use **Wild Honey Hunters** raw honey (collected by traditional forest tribes), and the taste becomes even more vibrant and wholesome. Definitely trying this recipe with honey next time!
