Method

Preparation

1

Juicing the Lemons

Cut the lemons in half and use a citrus juicer to extract the juice. You should aim for about 1 cup of lemon juice.

2

Mixing the Ingredients

In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, sugar, and water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

3

Infusing with Mint

Add the mint leaves to the pitcher. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their flavor.

4

Chilling

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill.

Serving

5

Serving the Lemonade

Pour the lemonade into glasses over ice, garnish with extra mint leaves or lemon slices if desired, and serve immediately.
