- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Rosewater

Step 1
Wash the lemons thoroughly, then roll them on the countertop to help release the juice. Slice 4 of the lemons in half and juice them into a bowl or measuring cup. You should have approximately 3/4 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Step 2
Slice the remaining lemon into thin rounds to use as a garnish and set aside.

Step 4
Add the rosewater to the lemon juice mixture and stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Rinse the mint leaves and gently bruise them with your fingers to release their aroma. Add the mint leaves to the pitcher.
Step 6
Pour the cold water into the pitcher and mix everything thoroughly.
Step 7
Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
Step 8
Add the ice cubes to the lemonade and gently stir to chill the mixture.
