Method
- Make the syrup: in a small pan, warm 200 ml of water with the sugar, stirring, just until dissolved. Let it cool.
- Roll the lemons on the counter, pressing down, so they give more juice. Slice 1 lemon thinly and squeeze the rest (you should get about 200 ml of juice).
- In a jug, mix the lemon juice, syrup and 1 litre of cold water. Add the lemon slices and the lightly bruised mint leaves.
- Chill for 30 minutes and serve very cold, with ice.
Shopping tip
Thin-skinned lemons that feel heavy for their size are the juiciest. Taste and adjust the sugar: some like 80 g, some 150 g.
