Preparation tips
- Use unwaxed lemons and organic mint if possible, since both go into the Thermomix bowl whole or grated. A quick rinse under cold water removes any residue, and the zest will give your mint lemonade a brighter, cleaner citrus aroma.
- Taste the lemonade before serving and adjust the balance: extra lemon juice sharpens the tang, an extra spoon of sugar softens it. Chilling the pitcher in the fridge for a while lets the mint flavour deepen considerably.
- For a perfectly clear drink, pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve and press gently with a spatula. Children love this lemonade with extra ice cubes and a sprig of mint as a playful garnish.
Recipe variations
- Sugar-free variation: replace the sugar with a few soft dates or a splash of agave syrup. The Thermomix blends them completely smooth with the mint and lemon, giving a naturally sweetened lemonade that suits a low-sugar diet.
- Festive mojito-style variation: add sparkling water instead of cold water and finish each glass with a dash of lime juice and crushed ice. For a party version, a splash of white rum turns this mint lemonade into an instant adult cocktail.
