Advice

Use very cold water and plenty of ice; colder inputs make a thicker slush. 🧊

Why it works 💡
Mint’s menthol cools the palate while lemon’s acidity keeps sweetness lively, so the drink stays crisp—not cloying.

Twist 🌶️
Swap half the water for sparkling water at the end (pulse briefly) or add 1–2 tsp rose water for floral notes.
