Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Refreshing Alcohol-Free Mint Julep.
Step 1
Begin by placing a small saucepan on the stove and adding water, sugar, and freshly chopped mint leaves.
Step 2
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until it reaches a boil and the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Once the sugar has melted into the fragrant liquid, take the saucepan off the heat and allow it to cool for about an hour.

After cooling, strain the mixture to remove the mint leaves, leaving you with a beautifully clear mint syrup.
Step 5
Next, prepare two cups or elegant frozen goblets filled with crushed ice.
Step 6
Pour half of your refreshing lemonade into each glass, then drizzle a splash of the cooled mint syrup over the top for a delightful twist.
Step 7
To elevate your drinks, garnish each one with a sprig of fresh mint and a colorful straw.
Step 8
For an added touch of sophistication, serve your minty lemonade on a silver platter, making it a perfect centerpiece for any gathering.
