Instructions
Make Simple Syrup
Dissolve the granulated sugar in 0.5 cup of hot water, stirring until completely clear. Allow to cool for a few minutes before using.
Blend the Mint
Place fresh mint leaves and 1 cup of lemon juice into a blender and blend on high for 30 seconds until the mint is fully broken down and the mixture is bright green.
Combine All Ingredients
Pour the blended mint-lemon mixture into a large pitcher through a fine mesh strainer if you prefer a smoother drink, or leave it unstrained for maximum cloudiness and mint flavor. Add the simple syrup and cold water and stir well.
Serve Immediately
Pour over ice and garnish with a fresh mint sprig and lemon slice. This lemonade is best served fresh as the mint can oxidize and turn slightly brown after a few hours.
