Homemade Lemonade with Mint
Dissolve the sugar in a glass of warm water, stirring, for 1–2 min. Squeeze the juice from 3 lemons, and cut one more lemon into thin rounds. Lightly muddle the mint leaves in a pitcher with a wooden spoon so they release their aroma. Pour the sugar syrup, lemon juice, and remaining cold water into the pitcher, add the lemon rounds, and stir. Serve with ice; if you have 30 min, let the lemonade infuse in the refrigerator—the flavor will become milder.
