Refreshing Mint Lemonade

Pluck the mint leaves and place them in a small pot. Add the sugar and 150 ml of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then let the mint syrup cool down.

Pour the cooled syrup into a large pitcher and mix with the lemon juice. Add a large handful of ice cubes and top up with sparkling mineral water.

Taste the lemonade and add more lemon juice as desired. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices in the pitcher and serve immediately ice-cold.
