Mint, Lemon & Ginger Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large lemon (or 2 small lemons)
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 3 cups cold water
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Lemon slices and mint sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a blender or a bowl (if using a hand blender). Remove any seeds.
   • Add the chopped ginger and fresh mint leaves.
2. Blend:
   • Pour the cold water over the lemon juice, ginger, and mint mixture.
   • Blend everything until the ginger and mint are finely processed.
3. Strain:
   • Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the pulp. You can skip this step if you prefer a more textured juice.
4. Sweeten (Optional):
   • Stir in honey or maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness. You can adjust based on your preference.
5. Serve:
   • Pour the juice into glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of mint for an extra fresh look.
6. Chill & Enjoy:
   • Serve immediately or refrigerate for a bit to enhance the refreshing taste.

This juice is great for digestion (thanks to ginger) and is naturally cooling with the mint and lemon!
