Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and mint leaves. Bring just to a simmer, then remove from heat. Let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and cool.
In a pitcher, combine lemon juice and sweetener. Stir until dissolved.
Add the cooled mint infusion and mix well.
Just before serving, pour in sparkling water and stir gently.
Serve over ice with lemon slices and mint sprigs for garnish.

Notes

For a stronger mint flavor, muddle some mint leaves directly in the glass before pouring.
You can substitute sparkling water with club soda or lemon-flavored seltzer.
To make it a cocktail, add a splash of vodka or gin.
