Notes
- Use the back of a wooden spoon to gently press the mint leaves - don't crush them too hard
- Try using honey instead of sugar for a different kind of sweetness
- Make sure your mint is fresh - it makes a big difference in flavor
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving
- For a party, prepare the lime and mint mixture ahead of time, then add ice and water when guests arrive
- Try adding a few cucumber slices for an extra refreshing twist
