3
Add sugar to taste. With the maple syrup, it might not be necessary.
4
Add a little salt (1/4 spoon) in the mixture. If you have black salt, try that.
5
Fill the glass with cold water and mix. Ice is optional; if the concentrate is still slushy and cold, ice might not be necessary.
6
Add mint leaves for garnish. For extra mint flavor, bruise the leaves first.
7
Decorate the glass with cute little umbrellas, and put a straw.
8
Dice a thin little piece of lemon and put it on the edge of glass.

You don't have to add salt, but salt acts as a flavor-enhancer for the lemonade.

Warnings

Keep in mind that some people are diabetic so don't put sugar in all of the lemonade. Rather, have two pitchers of lemonade; keep sugar in one, and sugar free in the other. This way, people can add the sugar themselves according to their taste.
