🌿🍋 Fresh Mint Lemon Mocktail – Inspired by Tunisia

A refreshing mint mocktail made with fresh herbs and citrus.

I first tried a drink like this in a small café in Tunisia with my siblings and never forgot the taste. I couldn’t find it anywhere else again, so I recreated it at home – and it’s absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 large bunch fresh mint (about 40–50 g), washed
• 500–700 ml cold water (adjust to taste)
• 1 small snack lemon, sliced (with peel)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Brown sugar, to taste
• Lemon juice & brown sugar (for the glass rim)
• Lime slices, for garnish
• Ice cubes (optional, for summer)

Instructions

1. Add the fresh mint to a blender or container.
2. Pour in the water, add the sliced snack lemon, lime juice and lemon juice.
3. Sweeten with brown sugar to taste.
4. Blend well until the mint is finely mixed and the drink turns vibrant green.
5. Dip the rim of a glass in lemon juice, then in brown sugar.
6. Pour the mint mocktail into the glass, garnish with a lime slice and add a straw.
7. Serve chilled. Add ice cubes in summer if desired.

Tip

In winter, I enjoy this mocktail without ice as a refreshing drink after dinner.

In summer, crushed ice makes it extra refreshing.

✨ Perfect for all mint lovers looking for a unique and refreshing mocktail.
