Mint Limeade

This is a great summertime drink. Especially good on really hot days!

6 c water, divided
1 c sugar (more or less to taste)
1/3 c fresh mint
1 c fresh lime juice (about 8-10 limes)
• Combine 2 c water, sugar, and mint in small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
• Cook until sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, let stand 10 minutes.
• Discard mint leaves
• Combine remaining 4 c water, sugar syrup, and lime juice in a large pitcher. Stir. Refrigerate. Serve.
