How to Make Mint Orangeade Cooler
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of orange juice to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved and the mint has infused the juice. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing on the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add 3 cups of orange juice and 1/2 cup of fresh lime juice to the pitcher.
- Just before serving, gently stir in 2 cups of chilled sparkling water.
- Pour over ice-filled glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and orange slices (optional).
