Ingredients
- 4 lemons
- 3 limes
- ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves
- ¾ cup superfine sugar, plus additional as desired
- 8 cups cold water
Directions
Squeeze the juice from 3 of the lemons and 2 of the limes; strain the juice into a glass measuring cup (about 1 cup of juice). Thinly slice the remaining lemon and lime, removing the seeds; set aside.
In the bottom of a tall pitcher, use a wooden spoon to gently mash the mint leaves with ¼ cup of the sugar. Add the strained juice; stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Add the cold water and the remaining ½ cup sugar to the pitcher; stir well to dissolve the sugar. Tase for sweetness and add more sugar if desired. Add the lemon and lime slices. Chill before serving.
