You make homemade mint lemonade in a few minutes without any syrup. You squeeze fresh juice from the lemons, bruise the mint leaves to release their aroma, and put both into a pitcher. You add sugar and stir it until it dissolves, then pour in cold water and adjust the balance of sugar and lemon to taste. You chill it briefly and serve it with ice and a slice of lemon. Homemade lemonade is a refreshing summer drink.

Step by step process

Preparing the base

1
Thoroughly wash the lemons with hot water, dry them, and cut them in half. Use a citrus juicer to squeeze the juice from all the lemons into a pitcher.
2
Rinse the mint sprigs with cold water, strip the leaves, and gently bruise them in your palm or with a muddler at the bottom of the pitcher to release their aroma.

Mixing the lemonade

3
Add granulated sugar to the pitcher with the lemon juice and mint, and stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Pour in cold water and stir well again. Taste and adjust the balance of sugar and lemon as needed.
5
Let the finished lemonade rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

6
Place a handful of ice into chilled glasses, pour in the prepared lemonade, and garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint.

More tips:

For a stronger mint flavor, you can make a simple mint syrup: dissolve sugar in a small amount of hot water together with the mint, let it cool, and only then mix it with the lemon juice and cold water.
