Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint

    Rinse the fresh mint leaves thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, and agave syrup. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves, releasing their oils and flavor into the mixture.

  3. 3

    Add Sparkling Water

    Slowly pour in the sparkling water to the pitcher, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation.

  4. 4

    Serve Over Ice

    Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mint lemonade mixture over the ice, ensuring each glass gets some mint leaves.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Add fresh lemon slices to each glass as a garnish for extra flavor and visual appeal.
