   Stuff the mint leaves into an empty 1.5-liter plastic water bottle.

   Add the sugar, lemon juice and gin.

3. 03

   Tighten the lid and vigorously shake to start dissolving the sugar.

4. 04

   Add about 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) water, replace the lid, and vigorously shake again.

5. 05

   Taste and adjust the sugar or lemon juice if needed.

6. 06

   Put in the freezer overnight until frozen, shaking from time to time in the beginning to ensure that the sugar dissolves.
