Ingredients:
1 cup fresh mint leaves (washed)

3-4 limes (juiced)

4 cups cold water

2-3 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)

1/2 tsp salt (optional, for a savory touch)

Ice cubes

Extra mint leaves and lime slices (for garnish)

Instructions:
Make the Mint Syrup:

In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water and the sugar (or honey). Heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely to form a simple syrup.

Once the syrup is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Add the fresh mint leaves to the syrup and gently crush them with a muddler or spoon to release the mint's oils. Let it sit for 5 minutes to infuse the mint flavor.

Prepare the Limeade:

In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice and the cooled mint syrup.

Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water and stir to combine.

Taste and adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar or lime juice as per your preference.

Serve:

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the mint limeade over the ice.

Garnish with extra mint leaves and lime slices.

Optional:

For an extra twist, you can add a splash of sparkling water or soda for a fizzy version of the mint limeade.
