Tips for Making Vietnamese Mint Lemonade:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Look for bright green mint leaves, juicy lemons, and pure cane sugar.
- If you don't have a muddler, you can use a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves.
- Be careful not to over-muddle the mint leaves, as this can release a bitter flavor.

- Serve the lemonade immediately over ice, or chill it for later.
- Garnish with additional mint leaves and lemon slices for a refreshing presentation.
