Pomegranate Lamb's Lettuce Smoothie with Peppermint Tea
Light and refreshing, with juicy pear sweetness, tart pomegranate and a cool mint finish.
Pomegranate seeds (arils) are juicy, crunchy and sweet and sour, and they give smoothies a pink blush and a clean, slightly tart flavour. They are a source of vitamin C and fibre. Cooled peppermint tea replaces water and adds a cooling, refreshing note without any sugar. A ripe pear gives natural sweetness and body, and lamb's lettuce adds mild, nutty greens. The combination is light and refreshing, a good drink for warm days or after a meal when something heavy would be too much.
Yes. It contains only fruit, lettuce and tea.
Yes, use cold water and 6 to 8 fresh mint leaves.
It is best fresh; the pear darkens and the drink separates after a few hours.
