Nothing beats a cold glass of mint lemonade on a hot summer day. To make refreshing drinks even easier, prepare mint lemon ice cubes ahead of time. Simply blend fresh mint leaves with lemon juice, sugar, black salt, cumin powder and a little water, then pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze.
Whenever you're craving a quick cooler, drop a few mint lemon cubes into a glass or pitcher and dissolve with water. Top with chilled soda. As the cubes melt, they release fresh citrus and minty flavours, creating an instantly refreshing drink without any extra prep.
It's a simple, make-ahead trick that keeps summer refreshments just moments away!
Keep a batch of mint lemon cubes in the freezer all summer long for quick and easy homemade lemonade anytime.
