🥘 Ingredients

6 items

• 2 pieces Fresh lemons
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Cold sparkling water
• 5 pieces Ice cubes
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. Juice the lemons: Cut the lemons in half and squeeze them using a juicer or your hands to extract as much juice as possible. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds, if necessary.

2. Make a simple syrup: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water until the sugar is fully dissolved. This is your quick simple syrup.

3. Combine the mixture: Add the lemon juice and simple syrup into a tall glass. Stir well to ensure the flavors blend.

4. Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.

5. Pour sparkling water: Slowly pour the cold sparkling water into the glass to fill it, leaving a bit of space at the top.

6. Garnish and serve: If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
