Mint Limeade

8-10 large mint leaves 1/2 c. sugar
7 Small Fresh limes juices
3 – 4 containers of concentrate limeade prepared

Finely chop the mint leaves. Place the chopped mint leaves in a bowl or non-reactive pitcher and press them with a pestle or the back of a spoon to release the oils. Add the sugar and press the mint leaves and sugar together with the back of a spoon. Add the lime juice and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy.

Right before serving, add prepared limeade immediately over ice. Garnish with lime slices and mint leaves.
