Fresh drinks in the winter do require an additional dosis of vitamin. With so many sun-less days and nights starting around 4pm, we definitely need not only more light, but also those vitamins in our body that help to fight against low immunity, colds and in not a few cases, even depression.
As I like to stay both fit and hydrated, I created my own winter variant of lemonade, that in addition to lemon, it also has some useful cocktail of vitamin: pomegranate and ginger. Kept in the fridge for around 30 minutes creates a very pleasant refreshing effect. If you want to fight against the cold, you can also use warm water instead as a good remedy against cough and other unpleasant winter occurences.
It can be prepared within minutes and is a real good option for ending a busy first week of work in 2018.
Ingredients
1 cup of fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds
500 ml. fresh cold/hot water
Directions
Add all the ingredients in the blender and mix for 2 minutes at moderate speed. Eventually, you may need to clean the liquid from the pomegranate seeds therefore you need a strainer.
