Gather @ice cube{300%g} and @fresh mint{4%leaf}.

Warm the @sugar{200%g} with 250 ml of the @water{1.5%l} in a small saucepan, stirring until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Cool slightly. ~{3%minutes}

Roll the lemons firmly on the counter, then juice them; you want about 250 ml of juice.

Combine the syrup, @lemon{6} juice and remaining cold water in a pitcher and stir well.

Taste and adjust — a splash more water if sharp, a squeeze more lemon if flat.

Fill glasses with ice, pour, and top with a mint leaf and a thin lemon wheel.
