Steps

15 minutes

1

To make the sugar syrup. Combine sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar completely. Take off the heat and set aside. Crush the mint leaves + 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl using a small pestle to release the flavours of the mint.
2

Add lemon juice, sugar syrup, sparkling water and cold water. Stir thoroughly.
3

Strain the mixture to remove the mint chaff (you can leave it if you prefer). Pour ice cubes into glass cups, followed by the lemon wedges.
4

Pour in the strained mixture. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
