Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh lemons
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Stevia sweetener
- 5 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 4 sprigs Mint sprigs
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the lemons and mint. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand to loosen the juices, then slice in half.
Step 3
Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds or pulp.
Step 4
In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lemon juice, stevia sweetener, and 5 cups of cold water. Stir until the stevia is fully dissolved.
Step 5
Take the mint leaves and gently muddle them in a small bowl to release their natural oils, then add them to the pitcher. Stir gently.
Step 6
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the mixture to chill the lemonade.
Step 7
Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Optionally, you can serve it immediately if you prefer a lighter mint flavor.
Step 8
Before serving, gently stir the lemonade. Pour into glasses filled with additional ice cubes if desired.
Step 9
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a decorative touch.
