Lemonade

Lemonade is a very popular drink in Israel. It’s actually being served all the time. Here mint is often added to the drink, and then it’s called limonana instead. Lemonade is the perfect cool off summer drink, and it goes very well with Middle Eastern food.

I love sour mixed with sweet, it makes a perfect combination. It’s up to you how much sugar you want in your lemonade. If you are on a diet, you just reduce the amount of sugar or add more water. I normally don’t like things to be very sweet, but I just love sugar in my ice-cold lemonade.
