Cómo preparar Fresh Minted Lemonade
- In a large bowl, mash 1 cup sugar, 1 cup packed fresh mint leaves, and 1 cup lemon wedges (about 4-6 lemons) with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon until the lemons release their juice, the sugar dissolves, and the mixture thickens into a syrup (about 4 minutes).
- Strain half of the lemon-mint mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
- Discard the solids.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining lemon-mint mixture.
- Add 6 cups of cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Stir gently before serving over ice.
- Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lemon slices (optional).
