Cool Summer Refreshments

During the hot summer months, there is nothing better than 'Arabic Lemonade'. The combination of fresh lemon juice, mint, and sugar or syrup sets the tastesbuds tingling and has positive health benefits. In traditional medicine, lemon is widely known for its healing powers. It is effective in curing many digestion problems and acts as a tonic to the liver. Lemon cools the body so effectively that it can be used to reduce fever, so next time you're feeling the effects of the hot summer sun, chill with some lemon and mint juice, rather than a sticky soda.
