- INGREDIENTS LISTED BELOW ⬇⬇⬇ I year ago we went to Egypt! Pranav for work, me on cultural exchange - sort of. There we came across this beautiful and vibrant lemonade called "Lemon & Mint." I think it might also be called limonana, but on most menus in Alexandria and Cairo, we always saw it as "Lemon & Mint." After doing a little research here my take on this refreshing a atypical lemonade. Hope you enjoy, and let me know if the comments below! Shukraan!
INGREDIENTS
1 lemon with the skin intact
2 inch piece of ginger
1/3 cucumber
handful of mint
1/4-1/3 cup honey or other sweetener of your choice
1.2 L of water

The white part of the lemon's peel is bitter. I'm not sure how this drink comes out but the lemon zest you mentioned is only shavings of the YELLOW part of the peel. They avoid the white part.
Hi Mordecai! You're absolutely right. The white part of the rind can certainly be bitter, and I find that over time it only gets worse. However, this drink never lasts long enough for that to happen! The next time I make this I will take your advice into account though, thank you!
Nice
I am Egyptian but didn't notice this drink 😊 Thanks for sharing
I'm glad you found it! I think my version might be a little different - it's not completely authentic. The typical one you might find will not have the ginger or cucumber. But I hope you try this drink and love it as much as I do!
This is fabulous! Simple to prep and so delicious. Perfect hint of sweetness from the honey and lovely lemon flavor, nothing bitter at all. Thank you for this🍋💚👏🏼
Thank you so much 😊 It is indeed one of my favourite drinks yet I haven't made it this summer. Your comment brought me back to this video and reminded me that I should make this, so thank you!
Very simple to make, and I always have those ingredients. Will try.it soon.👍👍💝
Thanks for liking Mommy!
I traveled to Egypt also. I so enjoyed the lemon mint drink while there. I’ve wanted to recreate it when I returned home to the US. Thanks for the recipe.
I'm sorry to see this comment so late! Have you tried making it yet?
Good
I have made this juice, and I truly like it. But your Dad likes it very much. I have made it 3 times already and am making it again today. It is simple, refreshing. And you can sweeten it to your taste. I usually use Maple Syrup. 👍👍❤️❤️
I'm so glad to know that you like it Mom! I am planning to make a fresh batch of myself today! Siri gave me some very beautiful mint!!!
I have made this drink twice since you posted the recipe. So very easy and refreshing. I used Maple Syrup since I had no sugar or honey. We both enjoyed it very much.❤️❤️👍👍
Thanks for sharing that Mommy! I'm glad you like this drink!
Thanks Aneela, this is great just got a bunch of mint from my farm share. Doing it! ❤️ 🍋 🍃 🥒
How wonderful Alicia! I'm replying so late to your comment, but I hope your drink was delicious! And farm share?!?!? What a great way to support local farms!
Thanks for introducing, I love it, I have a lot of mint in my garden, don’t know what to do with it.
Please let me know if you give it a try! So nice that you will use the fresh garden mint!
Wow I’m Egyptian and reading that made me miss my home 😢😌..... my husband is indian and he’s crazy about this juice ....but we never use fresh ginger or cucumber... but I understand it’s inspired so you may do few twists
Thank you so much for this comment! Honestly I never knew how this drink got its vibrant colour, and the best thing I could think of was to add some cucumber with the skin. But maybe in Egypt they make it with more mint and that is where the colour comes from. Thank you so much for this feedback, I really appreciate it! I love this drink and I love Misr so much! 💗💗💗
Very nice 👍

Thank you! Cheers!
Darn I have everything except for the cucumber either way it's good.
Leave it out!!! It's not necessary, only optional 👍🏽🙂
I will try making some 👍🧊
I hope you do! Please let me know how you like it!
Won’t the lemon peel make it bitter?
Surprisingly, it doesn't! I think perhaps because it's a quick blitz and then immediately strained? I have to say though that the longer this drink sits in the fridge, the more the taste changes, so drink it fast. Usually people make the amount they wish the have and then consume it immediately while it's fresh 💖
What's a Musliim cloth ?
Muslin!!!! Not Muslim ♥️ But I have no problem with a Muslim cloth either 👍🏽😂
@@maharajaneela my bad, the captions said Muslim
Oh the captions are the worst! They get me every time! Have a great day!
