Where to buy soda?

- To enjoy the full flavor of the drink, you should use sugar-free soda and avoid adding extra flavors.
How to distinguish mint from spearmint
- The easiest way to distinguish them is by their scent. Mint has a strong aroma and a cool, spicy taste, while spearmint has a slightly lighter aroma and a moderate, not too strong spiciness.
- Next, in terms of shape, mint has an egg-like form, with serrated edges and fine hairs on both sides of the leaves.
- In contrast, when observing spearmint, you will see that the leaves appear longer, the edges also have serrations but are smaller than those of mint. Notably, spearmint does not have fine hairs on the leaf surface.

Shake coffee with lemon mint juice
Prepare a shaker and add the juice of 1/2 lemon, 30ml (2 tablespoons) of sugar syrup, 70ml of coffee concentrate, and a few ice cubes, then close the lid and shake vigorously for about 20 – 30 seconds.
How to shake the shaker correctly-
Minimize the mixture spilling out when closing the lid, so make sure to close it tightly to avoid any gaps.

When shaking, hold one hand at the top, while the other hand holds the bottom of the shaker, and use your wrist to move it up and down continuously to evenly mix the ingredients.

If you’re unsure when the product is ready, shake for about 20 – 30 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
