With the sun beating down on us we are all looking for drinks to help cool down. But wouldn't it be great if we were able to indulge on these drinks without worrying about the calories? Yes, this is just another one of those wonderfully refreshing summer drinks! Using the freshness of mint and lemons and combining it with just the right amount of spices and replacing the sugar with invigorating dates makes this an almost guilt free energizing drink this summer!

Whole Cumin, 1 tbsp

3. Put some water in a pan and bring it to a boil. Take the dates and remove their seeds.

6. Add in the salt and black salt.
7. Next add in the mint leaves and the dates.
