Health benefits of Lemon-Gin Fizzy Punch
Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

2 cups sugar
4 fresh mint sprigs
1 vanilla bean, split
1 (750-ml.) bottle gin

Garnishes: fresh mint leaves, citrus slices

Stir together sugar and 2 cups water in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 5 minutes. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add mint and vanilla bean; cool completely. Discard mint and vanilla bean.
