1
Prepare the Mint Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Let it steep for about 30 minutes, then strain the mixture to remove the mint leaves.
2
Mix the Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, the mint syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
3
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the mint lemonade over the ice, and garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs as desired.
