Mint <\/a>is one of the oldest and most popular herbs that is grown around the world and is an essential ingredient in much Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine. It is well known for its herbal benefits such as soothing the digestive tract, body cooling sensation, eliminating toxins from the body and also is a very good cleanser for the blood.\u00a0Here is a quick and easy recipe for a great homemade soft drink with mint leaves. \u00a0I have added some honey to this to partially substitute the need of extra sugar for the sweetness, which kids might prefer. Serve chilled as a dessert or just as a soft drink in summer time. You may use sparkling water (soda water) instead of plane water if you prefer to use it as a dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
