Mint-infused lemon water has a refreshing history dating back to ancient times, where it was enjoyed for its health benefits and invigorating flavor. This revitalizing beverage gained popularity in Mediterranean regions, where fresh mint and lemons were abundant. Chefs and home cooks alike embraced this simple yet flavorful concoction, often serving it as a palate cleanser or a soothing drink on hot summer days. Today, the best versions of this drink can be found in Mediterranean-inspired restaurants, where the balance of zesty lemons and aromatic mint is crucial. For a twist, some recipes incorporate honey or sparkling water for added complexity.
