- 0.5 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon (optional) Sugar
- 4 small leaves (optional, for garnish) Mint leaves

3. Taste the juice and adjust sweetness as needed by adding the optional sugar. Blend briefly to incorporate.
4. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher, and pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any pulp. Use a spoon to press the liquid through the strainer if necessary.

6. Garnish each glass with one or two fresh mint leaves, if desired.
