Instructions
- In a mason jar, start by juicing the fresh lemons.
- Add in the sugar, and stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved. Pour in the water.
- Crush your mint leaves. You can use a mortar and pestle, or crush/chop them by hand to release the mint flavor.
- Stir the crushed or muddled mint leaves into the lemonade mixture.
- Pour the lemonade over ice. Or store in an airtight container (I like to use a mason jar with lid) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Notes
Variations and Substitutions
- Instead of white sugar, you can use other natural substitutions. Try brown sugar, maple syrup, agave nectar, or even honey.
- If you want a sugar-free sweetener, there are plenty of great alternatives to try like monk fruit or stevia.
