Raspberry-Mint Quench
Raspberry-Mint Quench was created by a mother who wanted to offer her histamine-intolerant child a tasty and healthy alternative to store-bought juice and sodas. She used her kitchen as her laboratory, trying out various combinations until she discovered the perfect balance of sweetness, tanginess, and freshness in this raspberry and mint drink. It has since become a summer staple in their family and their go-to drink for hydration and refreshment.
Why suitable for low histanmine diet
Raspberry-Mint Quench is an excellent choice for those following a low-histamine diet. Raspberries, unlike many other fruits, are low in histamine, and mint is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Agave syrup is used as an alternative to refined sugars, which can trigger histamine release.

Tipps
Don't Over-Muddle
Take care to gently muddle the raspberries and mint leaves. If they are over-muddled, the drink may become bitter.
Adjust Sweetness
Adjust the quantity of agave syrup to suit your taste. If you like your drink sweeter, feel free to add a bit more.
Get Creative!
If you're looking for variation, try adding a few slices of cucumber for an extra fresh twist. Remember to stay within the boundaries of low-histamine ingredients.
Enjoy it Fresh
This drink is best served fresh, but if you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, keep in mind that the fresher it is, the better it tastes and the lower the histamine content.
Why Filtered Water
Filtered water is recommended because normal tap water can contain traces of chlorine and other substances that could potentially release histamine in sensitive individuals.
Hydrate and Replenish
This drink is not just tasty, but also very hydrating. Serve it during summer barbecues or after exercising to hydrate and restore electrolytes.
