Note: Plucking mint leaves from stems is recommended as these give the drink a bitter taste
Wedge lemons and remove the seeds.
Put the mint leaves and lemon wedges and sugar in a jar/glass. Make sure the glass you are using isn’t thin or delicate or it could break during the process

Now pour sprite or club soda to the mixture. Make sure you add more sugar in case you use Club Soda.
Add crushed ice and garnish with mint leaves and lemon wedges for serving
