Minty Lemon & Lime Elixer

1 cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup of fresh mint leaves
1 cup boiling water
2 cups filtered water (cold or room temperature)

Wash the mint and remove thick stems.  Crush mint with a mortar and pestle to release mint juices.  Place mint in a small glass jar with teaspoon (to absorb heat) and cover with 1 cup boiling water.  Let sit for 1 hour and add agave nectar.  Place this minty syrup in refrigerator overnight.  Mix 4 tablespoons of minty syrup with 1 tablespoon of lemon and 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 2 cups of filtered water.  Serve over ice.
