Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mint Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the fresh mint leaves, sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is fragrant. Remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Strain the Mint Syrup

    Once the mint syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar to remove the mint leaves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Limeaid

    In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice, the mint syrup, and the remaining 3 1/2 cups of water. Stir well to mix.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the mint limeaid over the ice, and top with sparkling water. Garnish with lime slices and mint sprigs as desired.
