A refreshing and flavorful drink combining the tang of lemons with the coolness of mint.
Combine the lemon slices, mint leaves, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Gently mash the ingredients to release the flavors without over-crushing the mint leaves.
Mash the mixture using a wooden spoon until the lemons release their juice and the sugar dissolves.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a consistent flavor.
Strain the mixture through a sieve into a serving pitcher, pressing to extract all the liquid.
Press firmly but gently to avoid bitterness from the mint.
Add the cold water to the pitcher and stir well.
Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve over ice for an extra refreshing experience.
