Easy Mint Lemonade(homemade)

Hi, few months back my hubby took us to a restaurant and we had food and at last he ordered for a mint lemonade. He insisted me to taste it, I tasted it and it was superb. I came home and the next day I made some research and finally made it. Do you know something, it tasted better than the restaurant and my hubby liked it to the core. For this super duper mint lemonade all you need is just 4 ingredients (  readily available in your kitchen ), that's it! What are you waiting for? go ahead and make this drink now!!

Ingredients
Lemon juice
Lemon - 1
Sugar - 5 to 6 tsp
Water - 2 cups ( or as required )

Mint syrup
Mint leaves - 10 to 15
Water - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup

Procedure
Step 1
Squeeze lemon, remove seeds.
Add water to it.
Next add sugar to it and let it dissolve.
Your lemon juice is ready.

Step 2
Take water in a sauce pan and add sugar to it.
Let it boil until the sugar dissolves.
Now add your mint leaves and once it shrinks ( after 2 to 3 minutes) switch it off.
Let it cool.
Strain it in strainer and discard the mint leaves.
Your mint syrup is ready.

Step 3
Serve

Notes
Do switch off the flame after the mint leaves get shrink, else it will turn bitter.
You can make ahead the mint syrup and refrigerate it. It stays well in fridge for a week.
For Lemon juice, water amount may vary slightly depending on the lemon.
