Method
Preparation of Lemonade
Juicing the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and juice them until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. You can use a citrus juicer or squeeze them by hand.
Making the Sugar Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Mixing the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, 4 cups of water, and the cooled sugar syrup. Stir well until fully combined.
Mint Infusion
Infusing the Mint
Add the 1 cup of fresh mint leaves to the lemonade mixture. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 30 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.
