When temperatures rise and the heat becomes unbearable, the body seeks only one thing: freshness. And while the air conditioning makes noise and the nights are difficult, there’s a natural, tasty, and super thirst-quenching remedy: watermelon and mint lemonade.

This drink is easy to make and the perfect trick to beat the heat from the inside out in a healthy and natural way.

Why does it work?
Watermelon: Consisting of over 90% water, it’s rich in mineral salts and has a natural diuretic and refreshing effect.

Lemon: Source of vitamin C, stimulates the immune system and digestion, and provides freshness thanks to its acidic flavor.

Mint: Provides an instant cooling effect and helps relax the stomach and intestines.

Cold water and ice: For instant and long-lasting coolness.
