Mint Julep Lemonade

In a medium saucepan add 5 cups of water and 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Heat just until boiling, remove from heat.

Add 4 cups of mint leaves to the sugar water blend (simple syrup). Push the leaves into the syrup and allow too steep for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours wring out the mint's leaves, extracting as much mint flavor out as possible. Run the syrup through a mesh strainer if needed.

Juice lemons and add the juice to the mint syrup, stirring until combined.

Add ice, mint leaves and lemon slices to the glasses and Mint Julep Lemonade! Enjoy!🍋
