Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh lemons
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liters Water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Roll the lemons on the countertop to soften them and release their juices.
Slice each lemon in half and use a juicer to extract the juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, setting the juice aside.
In a large pitcher, combine the strained lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water.
Stir vigorously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the drink.
Lightly crush the fresh mint leaves by clapping them between your hands, then add them to the pitcher for a subtle minty aroma and flavor.
Serve immediately in glasses filled with additional ice, garnished with a mint leaf or a lemon wedge if desired.
