Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemon Juice

    Roll the lemons on a countertop to loosen the juice. Cut them in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Make the Mint Syrup

    In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and the granulated sugar to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add the fresh mint leaves. Let it steep for 15 minutes, then strain to remove the mint leaves.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir again. Serve the mint lemonade in glasses, garnished with lemon slices and mint sprigs if desired.
