Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (240ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (480ml) cold filtered water
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh mint leaves, packed
  • 4 cups (950g) ice cubes
  • 6 fresh mint sprigs
  • 6 thin lemon wheels

Instructions:

  1. Wash the mint leaves thoroughly and pluck them from the stems.
  2. Combine the lemon juice, sugar, water, and mint leaves in the blender. Pulse on high for 30 seconds until the mixture turns a vibrant neon green.
  3. Add the ice cubes and blend again on the highest setting until the texture is a thick, uniform slush.
  4. Pour the drink directly into glasses for a traditional style, or run the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove larger mint fragments for a refined finish.
  5. Garnish each glass with a lemon wheel and a mint sprig.
