Why is Mint Lemonade a life saver? Because Summer is different in UAE (where I am from.) The heat is unbearable, not matter what you do. going to the beach is out of the question, you don’t want your brain to boil under that extremely hot sun!
Refreshing Mint Lemonade.
Having Ice cream is a good idea, but too much of it will increase something else, my weight! Bad idea.
Let’s play safe and smart this summer, let’s not provoke the scale, let’s keep our waist line happy and drink mint lemonade.
I have used Lemon Syrup in this recipe.

*If you want to further refrigerate this drink remove the mint leaves. If the leaves stay longer in the drink, the lemonade will taste bitter and the leaves will get darker in color.
