Mint Lemonade

Pliny the Elder, a naturalist and philosopher, documents the uses of mint in ancient Roman culture. Whether worn as a headdress or flavoring a sauce, the herb was revered for its potent flavor and remedying magic. Pliny even goes so far as to suggest the use of mint in drink as an elixir for aiding in the healing of scorpion stings and snake bites.

While we now prefer antivenom and modern solutions to such problems, it’s fascinating to think that mint has maintained such a significant role in the culinary and medical arts throughout history. At the root of this lore is an awareness that mint possesses cooling qualities and aroma. This recipe combines the simple flavors of lemon and common mint to provide a mouthful of ancient flavors that soothe the body and mind.
