Lime Mint Cooler

This is one drink that is very close to my heart. Back in India, when I was working in Chennai, me and my teammate used to have this in a juice shop on the premises of our company. We used to work late hours till midnight, so had the flexibility of coming at around 9.30 A.M in the morning and by that time the breakfast section at the food court used to be closed. Then our only option was having a sandwich. We used to wash down the sandwich with a chilled lime mint cooler. For almost three months, we had this drink almost everyday. This is a very simple drink with the most refreshing taste.

Ingredients:
(Serves 1)
Mint/Pudina leaves - 5 or 6
Lime/Lemon - 1 whole
Sugar - 1 tbsp(adjust according to taste)
Water - 1 glass
Ice cubes - few

Method of Preparation:
1. Take a blender, add the mint leaves, squeeze the lemon/lime, add sugar and water.
2. Blend for a minute. If required, strain the juice.
3. Serve lime mint cooler in tall glasses with ice.
