Notes

  1. If you do not like your lemonade too sour, divide the amount of lemon juice in this recipe into two. Use one half of the lemon juice with all the water and taste. Add the other half of the lemon juice in bits (if necessary), until you are happy with the level of sourness.
  2. For an intense minty flavour, crush or muddle half of the mint leaves and leave the rest whole.
  3. You can adjust the sugar level depending on how sweet you want your lemonade to be.
