- Finely zest 2 lemons on a Microplane, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- Put the still water, sugar and zest in the saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until dissolved.
- Off the heat, add 5 chopped mint leaves and the fleur de sel, cover and infuse 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, juice the 6 lemons to get about 200 ml (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) of strained juice.
- Strain the cooled syrup and mix it with the lemon juice in the glass pitcher.
- Add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the bubbles, then pour over ice.
- Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and the remaining mint leaves.
