Prepare the simple syrup: In a small heatproof bowl or measuring cup, combine the granulated sugar and hot water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the simple syrup cool slightly.

Infuse the mint: Add the roughly torn fresh mint leaves to the cooled simple syrup. Gently muddle the mint with the back of a spoon to release its oils and flavor. Let the mint steep in the syrup for 5 minutes to infuse.

Combine the lemonade base: Strain the mint-infused simple syrup into a pitcher, discarding the mint leaves. Add the fresh lemon juice to the pitcher and stir well to combine.

Assemble the drinks: Fill four individual drinking glasses with ice. Pour the lemon-mint concentrate evenly into each glass, filling about one-third of the way.

Top and garnish: Top each glass with cold sparkling water until full. Garnish each serving with a fresh lemon slice and a mint sprig. Serve immediately and enjoy!
