Mint Lemonade
Cool down with a glass of naturally sweetened Mint Lemonade this summer. This tart and refreshing twist on a classic calls for very few ingredients, but doesn't call for granulated sugar or a simple syrup. Including lemon juice, water and muddled mint leaves, this lemonade is incredibly refreshing to sip any warm day.

Notes
- The longer you let this drink steep, the more minty it will become!
- Make it a pitcher drink! Quadruple (or more!) the ingredients used in this recipe, and mix in a pitcher. Let it steep in the fridge and chill before serving over ice to guests with the same garnishes of fresh mint leaves and lemon wheels.
- I suggest using the following measurements for a pitcher drink:
- 28 mint leaves
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons agave nectar
- 5 cups cold water
