Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh lemons
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or sugar for a vegan option)
- 4 cups Cold sparkling water
- 6 whole Mint leaves
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 3 slices Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Roll the lemons on a countertop to help release their juice, then cut each lemon in half and juice them into a small bowl. Strain the juice to remove seeds, if necessary. You should end up with about 3/4 cup of lemon juice.
In a large pitcher, combine the lemon juice and honey. Stir vigorously until the honey is fully dissolved. If it’s not dissolving easily, warm the lemon juice slightly, then cool it before the next step.
Add the cold sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
Place a few mint leaves in each serving glass and lightly bruise them with the back of a spoon to release their aroma.
Add a handful of ice cubes to each glass, then pour the Lemon Splash mixture over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and an extra mint leaf if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing tang!
