We’ve all had those days when water just feels… boring. But staying hydrated doesn’t have to be a chore. That’s why we want to share a drink that’s natural, refreshing, and ridiculously easy to make — Fresh Lemon Mint Water.

Whether we’re coming back from the gym, working under the sun, or just want something to sip while relaxing, this drink hits all the right notes. Let’s learn how to make it step by step, with clear instructions and precise amounts.

What Is Fresh Lemon Mint Water?

Fresh Lemon Mint Water (FMW) is a cooling beverage made by infusing water with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves. It’s incredibly simple, but it makes regular water taste like something special. No added sugar, no artificial flavors — just real, clean ingredients. It’s perfect for summer days, or really any time we want something light and refreshing.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s exactly what we need to prepare one tall glass (around 350–400 ml) of Fresh Lemon Mint Water:

- 1 slice of fresh lemon (around 3 mm thick, with peel on)

- 3–5 fresh mint leaves (washed and gently dried)

- 300–350 ml of chilled mineral water or filtered water

- 5–6 ice cubes

- (Optional): 1/3 teaspoon of lemon-flavored powder or 1/2 teaspoon of honey, if we prefer a slightly stronger or sweeter flavor

All ingredients are easy to find — and we can scale up the recipe for a pitcher if we’re serving multiple people.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s get into the process. This takes just 1–2 minutes, but the result is satisfying and refreshing.

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Choose a clean tall glass (350–400 ml). Fill it with 5–6 ice cubes.

Step 2: Add the Lemon

Cut one thin slice of lemon (about 3 mm thick) and drop it into the glass. If you want stronger flavor, gently squeeze the slice before adding.

Step 3: Add the Mint Leaves

Take 3–5 mint leaves and gently clap them between your palms once — this helps release the mint aroma. Then add them into the glass.

Step 4: Pour the Water

Pour 300–350 ml of chilled mineral water into the glass, covering the lemon and mint.

Step 5: Optional Flavor Boost

If you like a little more punch, stir in 1/3 teaspoon of lemon-flavored powder or 1/2 teaspoon of honey. Stir gently to mix.

Step 6: Garnish and Enjoy

Add an extra mint leaf or lemon twist on the rim for visual appeal. Serve immediately while it’s cold and fresh.
