Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Lemonade Base

    In a large pitcher, combine the water, fresh lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Infuse with Mint

    Add the fresh mint leaves to the pitcher and let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Add Fruits

  1. 3

    Add Sliced Fruits

    After the mint has infused, add the sliced strawberries, lemon slices, and orange slices to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine the fruits with the lemonade base.

Finish and Serve

  1. 4

    Add Sparkling Water

    Just before serving, pour the sparkling water into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine. This will give the drink a refreshing fizz.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Pour the pitcher into glasses filled with ice, and garnish with additional mint leaves or fruit slices if desired.
