Step 1

Wash your lemons thoroughly and then slice them into thin slices discarding the ends. Remove all the seeds (be thorough removing the seeds to avoid bitter water).

Step 2

Add lemon slices to a pitcher and top with 4 cups of water.

Step 3

Refrigerate and infuse for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Step 4

Right before serving add 4 cups of cold sparkling water (or plain water) to the pitcher and serve over ice cubes with lemon slices frozen in them and a sprig of mint.

Step 5

Make sure to remove the lemon slices from the pitcher after a maximum of 4 hours to avoid the lemon infused water from becoming bitter.
