Israel’s classic summer beverage, limonana (a combination of the Hebrew words for lemon and mint) is a refreshing mix of icy lemonade and crushed mint leaves. Ubiquitous in cafés and restaurants throughout the country, this is a summer favorite that is sure to cool you down.

Hi How would you prepare this drink before yom tov?

You can prepare the limonana completely before Yom Tov and refrigerate it in a tightly covered pitcher or bottle. We recommend leaving out the ice until serving so it doesn’t become diluted. When ready to serve, give it a good stir and pour over ice. For the freshest flavor and color, prepare it no more than 1–2 days in advance. Enjoy!
