Serve volume: 300 ml

The source states no tokenised ingredient list for this drink, so no energy or caffeine figure is derived from it.

Applies to: lemonade blended with fresh mint until fine and bright green — a popular Gulf-style refresher.

Target: under 2 minutes from order to serve.

Wash fresh mint under running water and pat it dry; use bright, unblemished leaves only.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice to order and strain out seeds.
Prepare a 1:1 sugar syrup and keep it chilled.
Portion ice for the blender per the recipe.
Sanitize the blender jar and blade and keep the recipe card at the station.

Add lemon juice, sugar syrup, and chilled water to the blender jar.
Reference: about 30 ml lemon juice, 30 ml of 1:1 syrup, and 120 ml chilled water per glass.
Add the fresh mint leaves and ice on top.
About 8–10 mint leaves per glass gives clear mint flavour and green colour without turning bitter.
Blend on high until the mint is finely broken up and the drink is uniformly bright green.
Blend just until fine — over-blending warms the drink and can pull bitterness from the mint.
Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately, straining lightly if a smoother texture is preferred.

Color is a fresh, even bright green with no dark or oxidized patches.
Mint is finely blended with no large leaf fragments unless a light strain was used.
Taste is refreshing and balanced — minty and sweet-tart, not bitter.

Mint browns and turns bitter quickly once blended — make each mint lemonade to order and never hold a blended batch.

No caffeine figure is published for this drink: its record carries no tokenised ingredient list to derive from.
