Vietnamese lime lemonade with ginger and mint

Squeeze the juice of two limes and slice the third. Peel and slice the ginger. Wash the mint and shake dry. Place the sugar, lime juice, ginger, some lime pieces, and some mint leaves in a jug/container and mix with a little water (approx. 100 ml). Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for several hours, stirring occasionally, until a syrup has formed. To serve, fill four glasses (preserving jars look great) three-quarters full of ice cubes. Mix the syrup 1:3 with mineral water and pour over the ice cubes. Decorate with more lime slices, the mint stems, and pomegranate seeds (cut open the pomegranate and tap out the seeds), and serve with a thick straw.
