- 4–5 lemons
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 cup sugar, or to taste
- 1 liter (about 4¼ cups) cold water
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Lemons
Wash the lemons well. Juice the 4–5 lemons and grate the zest from one lemon.
2. Add Everything to the Blender
Place the fresh mint leaves, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and cold water into a blender.
