Mint Limeade

1. 1

   To make the simple syrup, combine 1 cup of water, the sugar, the lime zest and the mint leaves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

2. 2

   Once the syrup reaches a boil, remove from the heat. Let the syrup cool completely, then pour the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Cover, and refrigerate until cold.

3. 3

   Once the lime-mint syrup is cold, pour the syrup into a pitcher, and add the lime juice and 5 cups of cold water. Stir until combined.

4. 4

   Fill glasses with ice, pour the limeade into each glass and enjoy!
