Making the Lemonade

  • In a large pitcher, add the 20 mint leaves followed by 1 cup of lemon juice and ¼ cup of lime juice. Muddle the mint leaves into the juices gently.
  • Once the syrup has cooled, pour it into the pitcher with the muddled mint and citrus juices. Stir well for about 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the 4 cups of chilled sparkling water and add 2 cups of ice cubes. Stir gently to combine.
  • If desired, add 1 teaspoon of green food coloring to the pitcher and mix until the lemonade turns a bright green.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and serve immediately once the sparkling water is added.
