Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Simple Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Mix Lemon Juice

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup with 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 3 cups of water. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Add Mint and Lemon Slices

    Add 1 cup of mint leaves and 1 cup of lemon slices to the pitcher. Gently stir to incorporate the flavors.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    When ready to serve, add ice cubes to glasses and pour the lemon mixture over the ice. Top each glass with soda water for a fizzy finish. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
