Lemon Mint Drink 【薄荷柠檬饮】


It was crazy hot in New Jersey the last two weeks that all I wanted was a glass of cold drink, and chill!!

The only good news is that the mint in my garden is growing so well, and it is great for making this chilly refreshing drink!

新泽西这几个星期开始变热了,院子里的薄荷长得很快。摘一把来做这个清凉好喝的薄荷柠檬水,突然闷热的午后就不再那么闷热啦!


Ingredients:
1 cup Mint leaves
1 Lemon (Squeeze out juices)
Drinking water
Ice cubes
Honey (Optional)

材料:
1 大杯 薄荷叶
1 只柠檬
饮用水
冰块
蜂蜜 (可无)




1. Clean and remove mint leaves from stem, crush it slightly, roll a lemon hard on kitchen surface, this will help to get more juices out from it. Squeeze out the lemon juice.

2. Add drinking water and ice cube with lemon juice and mint leaves, add some honey if you prefer.

1. 把薄荷叶洗净摘好,用手稍微捏碎。柠檬在案板上用力滚滚,切开,挤出柠檬汁。

2.加入饮用水和冰块,喜欢有有点甜味可以加点蜂蜜。
