I try to keep homemade mint syrup in the freezer or frig for stomach upsets. I'm pretty sure you could add the.lemon juice to this syrup, proceed with this recipe. The syrup is simply a simple syrup of sugar and water, boiled gently til thickened, followed by a 10 minute steep of bruised fresh mint leaves. Strain out the mint leaves. (You can toss them in a cup of any sort of tea.) I find a tablespoon or two of that syrup work well when indigestion strikes. It freezes well, by the way.
I made a simple syrup and added some chopped mint and lemon and let it infuse for a while. Then I poured it over the chopped pears and let it all sit for a couple of hours. Lovely and light and refreshing.
