Mint Lemonade Ingredients
Method
Mint Lemonade Directions
Prepare the Mint Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the fresh mint leaves and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes, then strain the syrup into a bowl, discarding the mint leaves.
Juice the Lemons
While the mint syrup is steeping, juice the 4 fresh lemons to extract the juice. You should have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Set aside.
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the mint syrup, lemon juice, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mint lemonade over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices if desired.
