Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh lemons
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Water
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Sparkling water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Roll the lemons on a countertop to make them easier to juice, then cut them in half and juice them into a small bowl or measuring cup. You should have about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar completely dissolves. This creates a simple syrup.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the simple syrup cool for about 5 minutes. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice and the cooled vanilla simple syrup. Mix well.
Step 5
Just before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more simple syrup or sugar.
Step 6
Fill each glass with a handful of ice cubes. Pour the sparkling vanilla lemonade over the ice.
Step 7
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and two fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for the best fizz.
