Refreshing Mint Lemonade

Place the picked mint leaves together with the sugar and 150 ml of water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then let the syrup cool.

Mix the mint syrup in a large pitcher with the lemon juice and a large handful of ice cubes. Top up with sparkling mineral water. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired. Serve with lemon slices and additional mint sprigs in the pitcher.
