A delightful and refreshing beverage combining the flavors of cherry and mint, perfect for warm days.
Steep the fresh mint in half of the boiling water for 15 minutes.
Cover the pot while steeping to retain the mint's aroma.
Strain the mint leaves from the water and let the infusion cool.
Allow the infusion to cool naturally to preserve its flavor.
Dissolve the sugar in the remaining boiling water by stirring until fully dissolved.
Ensure the sugar is completely dissolved for a smooth syrup.
Combine the mint infusion, sugar syrup, cherry juice, and lemon juice in a pitcher.
Stir thoroughly to blend all the flavors evenly.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Chilling enhances the flavors and makes the drink refreshing.
Serve the drink over ice in glasses and garnish with lemon slices.
Add a sprig of mint to each glass for an elegant touch.
