Lime Mint Ice Drink

Overview

The mint at home is growing very well, but I have been reluctant to pick it. It has been growing like crazy in the past two days, and the branches and leaves are in a mess. My husband said that they need to be trimmed, so he picked up the scissors and cut off all the spreading branches and leaves. He is cruel enough~~ I felt distressed looking at the pile of beautiful branches and leaves, so I found a bunch of vases and placed them all over the house. I decided to make some tea with some leftover, put a few slices of lemon, some honey, and a few ice cubes, and I had a fragrant and refreshing mint ice drink. This is a magical way to escape the heat in the hot summer~~ [Baidu Information] Mint contains 1 to 3% volatile oil, and the oil contains about 80% menthol (menthol), followed by menthone, isomenthol, pinene, etc. It has a stimulating effect on the digestive tract and an inhibitory effect on the medulla oblongata center and heart. Taking 20 ml of menthol can cause severe poisoning. Poisoning is often caused by overdose. So friends, even if it is a magical way to escape the heat, don’t drink too much. When brewing, just put 5-6 mint leaves.
