Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by washing your fresh mint leaves thoroughly. I like to give them a gentle rinse under cold water.
- 2
In a medium bowl, muddle the mint leaves with the maple syrup using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon. You want to release those lovely oils from the mint.
- 3
Juice your lemons until you have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. I find using a citrus juicer helps get every drop out!
- 4
Add the lemon juice to the bowl with the muddled mint and syrup. Stir it all together—this is where the magic begins!
- 5
Pour in the chilled filtered water and mix well. Taste it and adjust the sweetness if needed; some lemons can be a bit tart.
- 6
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Minty Lemonade Cooler over the ice. I love to garnish with a sprig of mint for a pop of color!
