Mint Squash Recipe with step by step pictures. This refreshing drink with the aroma of lemon and mint is a must have for those long hot days.

Mint Squash

Squash it just concentrated fruit juices. They are readily available in shops, you just need to add some water to have it. During my shopping, i come across lots of squash bottle but i have never picked one. It is because they are so simple to make at home, so why do you want to get it from stores.

Ingredients for Mint Squash

Mint Leaves - 4 cups packed (wash well)
Sugar - 2.5 cup
Citrid Acid / Lemon Salt- 1 tsp
Water - 3 cups

Normally i make lemon squash, pineapple squash at home often, but i don't add citric acid in them because i make a small batch of them. But this time i wanted to make it with citric acid because i just wanted a version of that in my blog. I made a batch of mint squash and pineapple squash and it was spot on..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

How to Make Mint Squash

Take citric acid in a bowl, add in spoonful of water and set aside so it melts.
