If you enjoy natural remedies that are simple, refreshing and easy to make at home, mint–lemon–ginger juice is one of the best combinations you can reach for. Each ingredient brings its own gentle benefits, and together they create a soothing drink that supports digestion, eases bloating, and provides a comforting lift when you’re feeling sluggish.
Why These Three Ingredients Work So Well
Mint offers a cooling, calming effect. It’s known for helping relax the digestive tract, reduce discomfort after meals, and freshen the breath naturally.
Lemon brings brightness and a clean, citrus flavour. It adds vitamin C and natural antioxidants that help support overall wellness.
Ginger is warming and comforting. Many people use it to ease nausea, support digestion, and soothe the throat — perfect when you want something gentle but effective.
Together, they balance each other perfectly: mint cools, ginger warms, and lemon refreshes.
How to Make the Juice
You’ll need:
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
- 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
- A small piece of ginger (about 2–3 cm), peeled
- 300–400 ml water
- 1–2 teaspoons honey (optional)
Steps:
- Add the mint leaves, ginger and water to a blender.
- Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove fibers.
- Add the fresh lemon juice and a bit of honey if you enjoy a lightly sweet taste.
- Mix well and serve chilled or at room temperature.
When to Drink It
You can enjoy this drink:
- In the morning to wake up gently
- After a heavy meal to reduce bloating
- Before a walk for a refreshing boost
- Anytime you want something light, clean and hydrating
Extra Tips
- For a stronger ginger flavour, grate the ginger instead of blending it.
- For a cooler drink, add a few ice cubes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain twice.
- Avoid if you’re sensitive to citrus or ginger.
