Directions
1. Put ingredients in a blender, add enough water to fill 3/4 of the blender and purée until smooth.
2. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the purée through it, pressing against the sieve with a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid out as possible.
3. Fill a large pitcher halfway with ice cubes. Add the juice (add more water if necessary). Enjoy fresh, garnished with mint leaves.
