Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 20 grams Mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 5 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Begin by juicing the fresh lemons to extract about 1 cup of lemon juice. You will need approximately 4 whole lemons for this.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey. Stir until the honey is thoroughly dissolved.
Rinse the mint leaves gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Add the mint leaves to the pitcher and gently muddle them with a wooden spoon or a muddler to release their oils without tearing them apart.
Pour the cold water over the lemon juice mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade into each glass.
Garnish with a lemon slice and a sprig of mint on top for each serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing mint lemonade.
