Preparation time: 15 mins

Ingredients:
½ cup dried apricots
½ teaspoon rose water (orange blossom water can also be used)

To begin with, in a bowl, cover the apricots with 1 cup of hot water and let sit for at least 1 hour. Soaking these dried apricots overnight would be preferable.
Now, place the soaked apricots in a blender. To it, add rose water, some orange zest, and add 3 cups of cold water and blend until smooth. All you have to do now is garnish with the mint and enjoy the delicious seasonal drink this summer!
