How to Make Egyptian Lemonade (in 3 Simple Steps!)
Step 1: Blend to Perfection
In a high-powered blender, add the limes (yes, peel and all!), whole milk, cold water, sugar, and mint leaves. Blend until smooth and well combined—but don’t overdo it! Over-blending can make the drink bitter. Aim for about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Strain the Goodness
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp or solids. This step is key for a silky, refreshing drink.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the freshly strained lemonade over the top. Sip immediately for the best flavor and texture!

Tips for the Best Egyptian Lemonade
✅ Use fresh limes. You should avoid blending your juice too much because it makes the lime peel oils turn bitter but fresh squeezed lime juice creates the best zesty flavor.
✅ Also, never use bottled juice. Extended blending of lime peels will cause the oil content to develop bitter flavors therefore it’s crucial to strain the mixture properly. The drink needs to be served right away because storing it will lead to separation (subject to individual taste). Freshness determines the ideal consumption time for this beverage since it does not taste good when lemonade separates.
FAQs About Egyptian Lemonade
Can I use lemons instead of limes? Absolutely! The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
How can I store leftovers? Egyptian Lemonade is best fresh, but if needed, store in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Shake well before serving!
Can I make this dairy-free? Yes! Swap whole milk for coconut or almond milk for a tropical twist.
