Preparation Steps
Prepare the mint syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh mint leaves, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, strain the mixture to remove the mint leaves.
Mix the lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the mint syrup. Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir well.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the mint lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and additional mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.
