1. Remove the zest (oil-rich outer peel, green part only) from 4 of the limes, using a vegetable peeler. Combine the zest with 1 cup sugar, the mint, and 1 cup of the water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to disolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, then strain the mixture into a pitcher.
2. Press the juice from all the limes you should have 1 cup. Add the juice and remaining 4 cups water to the sugar mixture if a sweeter limeade is desired, whisk in extra sugar. Pour into tall glasses over ice, garnishing each serving with a sprig of mint.
