TASTY REFRESHING SUMMER DRINK

Lately everyone's been preparing for the summer; going to the gym and going on the health kick. I've found this amazing refreshing drink that tastes great and is on the healthy side of life (better than sodas if i say so myself) and much quicker to make than juicing a load of fruit and veggys with as much benefits.

This amazing drink consists of mint and lemon, two refreshing compounds that have a lot of health benefits and tons of flavour.
