Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Mint sprigs and lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing your lemons. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed citrus juice is at the heart of this drink. Juice the lemons until you have about 1 cup of juice.
  2. In a blender, combine the lemon juice, fresh mint leaves, and honey. Blend until the mint is finely chopped and the mixture is well combined.
  3. Add the cold water and ice cubes to the blender. Blend again until the smoothie is frothy and perfectly chilled.
  4. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary, adding more honey or agave syrup to suit your preference.
  5. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice on the rim of each glass.
  6. Savor each sip of your Lemon Mint Smoothie, appreciating the blend of tart, sweet, and refreshing flavors.
Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For an extra frosty treat, freeze the mint leaves before blending.
  • Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different sweetener option.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, especially on a hot day.
  • If you prefer a less intense mint flavor, reduce the amount of mint leaves by half.
Storage and Substitutions:

  • Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
  • If fresh lemons are not available, use bottled lemon juice but reduce the quantity to taste, as the flavor may differ.
  • For a vegan option, use agave syrup instead of honey.
Pairings and Complements:

  • This vibrant smoothie pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or a fresh fruit salad.
  • For a sweet treat, serve alongside lemon bars or shortbread cookies.
  • It’s also a fantastic complement to grilled veggie skewers for a summer barbecue.
