How to Make Mint Lemonade
- Thinly slice 7 lemons.
- Remove seeds from the sliced lemons and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 12 fresh mint leaves to the bowl.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of granulated sugar over the lemons and mint.
- Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the lemon and mint mixture.
- Let the mixture steep for 45 minutes at room temperature, occasionally gently pressing the lemons and mint with a wooden spoon to release their flavors.
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a large glass punch bowl or pitcher (at least 2.5 quart capacity).
- Juice the remaining lemon (about 1/4 cup juice).
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the strained liquid.
- Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher.
- Stir the mixture well to combine.
- Add ice cubes to the pitcher.
- Stir rapidly to chill the lemonade thoroughly.
- Ladle or pour the lemonade into glasses, adding a few ice cubes to each.
- Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf.
