For sure! An orange and mint drink in a pitcher is an excellent option to cool off, as well as being very aromatic and simple to prepare. Here are two delicious versions:
Ingredients:
6 large oranges (juice)
1 liter of cold water (with or without gas, to taste)
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
A generous handful of fresh mint leaves
Ice to taste
Orange slices and mint sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the orange juice: Squeeze the oranges until you get the juice. Strain if you prefer a pulp-free drink.
Prepare the mint: Wash the mint leaves well. You can crush them lightly with your hands or with a pestle in a corner of the jar to release more aroma.
Mix the ingredients: In a large pitcher, add the orange juice, cold water, sugar and crushed mint leaves.
Dissolve the sugar: Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the amount of sugar if necessary.
Add ice: Fill the pitcher with ice to taste.
Serve and decorate: Serve the drink very cold, decorating each glass with an orange slice and a sprig of mint, if desired.
