How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose good blueberries
- Preferably choose berries that are blue or dark purple, firm, and have a thin waxy layer on the outside.
- Do not buy berries that are leaking or cracked.
- Additionally, it is advisable to buy blueberries from reputable imported fruit stores or supermarkets to ensure quality.
How to choose fresh lemons
- Fresh lemons are usually small, with thin and plump skin. When touched, the lemon feels smooth, not rough.
- Juicy lemons will feel heavy in the hand, and when gently pressed, the skin releases essential oils with a pleasant aroma. If the lemon has a pungent smell, it is likely to be one that has been sprayed with chemicals.
- You should choose seedless lemons for better juice quality.
How to choose fresh mint leaves
- You should choose mint plants with fresh leaves, vibrant green color, and a refreshing aroma with a distinctive spicy flavor.
- Avoid choosing mint plants when the leaves show signs of yellowing, wilting, or bruising as it will affect the final product.
Differentiating between mint leaves and spearmint
- Mint leaves: Leaves grow symmetrically, egg-shaped, with serrated edges, and fine hairs on both sides. Strong aroma, spicy and refreshing taste.
- Spearmint leaves: Leaves are elongated, with serrated edges, no fine hairs on the leaf surface, and are usually smaller than mint leaves. The aroma is lighter than mint leaves, with a milder spicy flavor.
