Equipment

  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 pitcher

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 3 mint sprigs
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1½ cups water
  • lime flavored sparkling water

Instructions

Make Mint Simple Syrup

  • Stir together sugar and water and bring to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat and toss in mint sprigs.
  • Let mint steep for about 10-15 minutes to develop mint flavor. Press on mint leaves to extract the last of the flavor, and discard.

Make Limeade

  • In a pitcher, stir together lime juice, lemon juice and cooled mint syrup. Add about 1 ½ cups of water to dilute. (Or to taste, depending on whether you like it more tart or more sweet.)
  • To serve, pour limeade into a glass filled with ice, then top with lime sparkling water. Garnish with a lime wheel and mint if desired.
