Ingredients
- 6 pieces Fresh lemons
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Cold water
- 2 teaspoons Orange blossom water
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 3 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any wax or dirt on the skin.

Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer to extract as much juice as possible, and strain to remove seeds and pulp.
In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is almost fully dissolved.
Add the cold water to the pitcher and mix well.
Stir in the orange blossom water for a floral and fragrant aroma.
Add fresh mint leaves to the lemonade and gently muddle with the back of a spoon to release the mint's flavor.
Fill the pitcher with ice cubes to chill the lemonade quickly.
Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately or refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
