Still lemonade has been enjoyed for centuries. It is believed to have originated in ancient Egypt, where lemon juice was sweetened with honey. It became a popular drink in the United States in the 19th century. The addition of blueberries to lemonade adds a modern twist to this timeless classic, incorporating the flavours of North America’s indigenous fruit.
Mint is a widely used herb in many culinary traditions, known for its refreshing and aromatic qualities for thousands of years. Its combination with lemonade brings a refreshing and revitalizing element to the drink.
