Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh lemons
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Agave nectar
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 6 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Begin by rolling the lemons on a hard surface to make them juicier, then cut each lemon in half.
Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer or a hand-held juicer to collect about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any seeds and pulp.
Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher with the lemon juice.
Pour in 0.5 cups of agave nectar. Stir well until the agave nectar is completely dissolved within the lemon-water mixture.
Fill the pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes, stirring to chill the lemonade further.
Lightly bruise 10 mint leaves by gently clapping them between your hands to release their aroma, then add them into the pitcher.
Serve the agave lemonade in glasses filled with extra ice cubes, garnished with lemon slices on top for an additional refreshing touch.
