Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Lime slices
- 4 pieces Mint sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 0.5 cup of water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to make a simple syrup. Set aside.
In a blender, add the fresh mint leaves and 1 cup of the water. Blend on high speed until the mint leaves are finely chopped and the water turns a vibrant green.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mint mixture into a large pitcher to remove the mint pulp, leaving only the mint-infused water.
Add the lime juice, the prepared simple syrup, and the remaining 2.5 cups of water to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the mint limeade into each glass, leaving some room for garnish.
Garnish each serving with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
