Adjust any of the ingredients to suit your taste.
If you can't get orange blossom water leave it out, or swap it with rose water.
You can also make lemonana with lemons only.
Store lemon mint juice in the fridge for up to 3-5 days, give it a good stir prior to serving and pour over ice.
To make this into a slushy add a little less water and plenty of ice to the high-powered blender.
