First, prepare the simple syrup. Add 2 cups of water, sugar and the bunch of mint leaves to a small pot over medium heat.
Whisk until the sugar dissolves and it comes to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, remove from heat and let it cool completely. Remove the mint leaves.
Add everything to your pitcher: simple syrup, water and lime juice. Add the extra mint leaves for garnish and extra flavor!
Refrigerate for an hour or two. Stir before serving and pour over ice. Add the lime slices just before serving, to avoid a bitter taste.
Garnish with mint and watermelon wedges.
