Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and fresh mint leaves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

  2. 2

    Simmer and Cool

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Strain the syrup to remove the mint leaves.

  3. 3

    Mix the Refreshment

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled mint syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add rose water for flavor and stir again. If you prefer a fizzy drink, add chilled sparkling water to the pitcher.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the refreshment into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and mint leaves.
