Place 1/3 of the mint leaves- about 10 leaves and 1/2 lime in a stone dish or a strong glass. Using a muddler, muddle the mint leaves and lime together. Continue to add the remaining mint leaves and the other 1/2 lime until all mint is muddled and all juice from the lime has released. Pour the rum to infuse with the mint and limes while you make the simple syrup.
To make the simple syrup: add the water and white sugar in a medium sauce pan. Heat to medium heat for a few minutes until all sugar has dissolved. Do not boil! Allow to cool for a few minutes.
In a large pitcher, strain the mint, lime and rum mixture. Add the simple syrup mixture. Add ice and serve with fresh mint leaves! Enjoy!
