Step 1: Take a glass and add fresh mint leaves and a few lime slices. Gently crush them together to release the mint aroma and lime juice.
Step 2 : Add sugar or simple syrup into the glass and mix it well with the mint and lime mixture.
Step 3: Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour sparkling soda or cold water over the mixture.
Step 4: Stir gently and garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime slice before serving.
For the best flavor, always use fresh mint leaves and freshly squeezed lime juice. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
