Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh lemons
- 4 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Agave nectar
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 10 leaves Mint leaves
- 6 slices Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rolling the lemons on a hard surface to make them juicier, then cut each lemon in half.
Step 2
Juice the lemons using a citrus juicer or a hand-held juicer to collect about 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any seeds and pulp.
Step 3
Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher with the lemon juice.
Step 4
Pour in 0.5 cups of agave nectar. Stir well until the agave nectar is completely dissolved within the lemon-water mixture.
Step 5
Fill the pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes, stirring to chill the lemonade further.
Step 6
Lightly bruise 10 mint leaves by gently clapping them between your hands to release their aroma, then add them into the pitcher.
Step 7
Serve the agave lemonade in glasses filled with extra ice cubes, garnished with lemon slices on top for an additional refreshing touch.
