Method
- First you need to make a simple sugar syrup. Place 1 & 1/2 cups of white sugar and 1 & 1/2 cups of water into a medium sauce pan over medium heat, and bring to the boil. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool (to speed this process up you can put it in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes).
- Juice the lemons. Place the two cups of lemon juice into a large pitcher or bowl. Add the remaining five cups of cold water. Then add 1 cup of simple sugar syrup. If the mixture is too sour you can add some more sugar syrup (you should have half a cup spare). If the mixture is too strong add move water.
- Roughly chop the mint leaves and stir into the lemonade mixture.
- Refrigerate the mint lemonade for 1 hour (or until cold). Also prepare your ice cubes (you'll need plenty).
- Fill your glasses with ice and then pour in the mint lemonade. Enjoy!.
- Store spare lemonade in the fridge for up to 1 week.
