This was really yummy, a great way to use up summer mint that grows like a weed at my house, and fast to make. I served it with silver tequila and a splash of soda water. Everyone loved it! I had this drink as soon as we were at our stay at Dubai. This was the welcome drink. I have not tasted anything like this with so much quantity of mint. I made this last night for a dinner party and everyone loved it. I had about 1 3/4 c lemon juice, 2 c mint leaves (that was all I could squeeze out of my herb garden), and 3/4 c sugar. Instead of still water I mixed it with sparkling water and added tequila for those who wanted it. It was very tasty. I will say that it doesn’t look as pretty if you make it ahead of time and let it sit. I made it in the early afternoon and kept it in the fridge, and by evening it was not nearly as bright green. Probably better to do fresh if presentation is important.

If you reduce lemon juice, the raw smell of mint will be dominating. So it is important to balance everything. Monarda citriodora is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, that is native to the southern United States [2] and northern Mexico. [1] [3] Common names include lemon beebalm, [4] [2] lemon mint (this may also apply to Eau de Cologne mint or Melissa officinalis) and purple horsemint. When crushed, the leaves emit an odor reminiscent of lemons. This odor is sometimes described as more resembling oregano, especially late in the season. Its purple flowers are highly attractive to butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.

Typical jobs: office worker, sales rep, bus/taxi/lorry driver. But most recipes bearing the name "lemon mint" actually used spearmint and the juice or other components of the actual fruit of the lemon plant rather than this plant. However, lemon beebalm is occasionally used in herbal teas. [6] Medicinal [ edit ]

Smint was first conceived by Chupa Chups in 1990 as a sugar-free product targeted at adult consumers. [1] After four years of development, Smint was introduced to the market as a subsidiary brand, and launched in the UK a year later in 1995. [1] In 1996 Smint started their "No Smint, no kiss" campaign, aiming to make the brand name "smint" synonymous with "kissing breath". [1]
