Lemon Mint Sparklers     

Ingredients:
3 lemons
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
6 to 8 fresh mint sprigs
1 3/4 cups fresh lemon juice (about 10 lemons)
3 1/2 cups chilled club soda
2 cups ice cubes

Preparation:
Using a vegetable peeler, remove thin layer of peel from lemons, leaving white pith intact. Reserve peeled lemons for another use.

Bring sugar, salt, and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Remove syrup from heat, and stir in lemon peels and mint. Cover and let stand 30 minutes. Pour mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a container; discard solids. Refrigerate overnight.

Add lemon juice, club soda and ice in a large pitcher. Serve immediately.
