Spearmint- Lemon Instant Energy Drink

I made an instant energy drink to keep myself cool and energetic in intense summer.

Procedure of making is very simple and the raw materials won't cost you much.

Basically we need ,

1) Five to ten home-grown spearmint( also know as pudina) leaves.

2) Two tablespoon sulphurless sugar.

3) A fresh lemon & honey.

4) Chilled water & ice cubes(optional).

5 ) A pinch of rock salt.

Sow some spearmint stems in mud and water them regularly. Ensure that soil remains wet.

Wait for about a week or two and see the results.Then, You will see a lot of greenery in the pot/vessel in which you had sown the stems. When they reach a height of more than 4 cms it is a high time to pluck them out.

Pudina leaves are known for its medicinal properties.

Pudina is an aromatic herb.

It can be plucked out in two ways:-

• Directly from root
• or cutting the stem accordingly without harming the root.

Better if you use sulphurless sugar. It is the premium and unadulterated form of sugar.

you can bring fresh lemons from garden or you can pour lemon juice from bottle if it is already stored in one.

In making of instant refreshing drinks one should prefer rock salt over common salt.

Just a pinch of salt is sufficient. No need of weighing cup.

Honey is good option. If you have it in excess then instead of using sugar you can rely on honey. Well, in making of this drink I added not more than half tablespoon of honey because I had already poured appropriate amount of sugar.

Pour some water first.

STIR it with spoon until sugar crystals completely dissolve.

ADD SOME FRESH MINT LEAVES AFTER CRUSHING THEM WITH FINGERS TO ENHANCE THE TASTE.

VOILA! THE DRINK IS READY.
