Method
Preparing the Simple Syrup
Make the Simple Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Muddling the Mint
Muddle the Mint Leaves
In a large pitcher, place 1 cup of fresh mint leaves. Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently press down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Be careful not to shred the leaves too much.
Combining Ingredients
Mix the Ingredients
Pour the cooled simple syrup and 1 cup of fresh lemon juice into the pitcher with the muddled mint. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Serving the Drink
Serve with Sparkling Water
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mint mixture over the ice. Top each glass with sparkling water and garnish with extra mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
