• 0.5 cups Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 2 cups Cold sparkling water
• 1 cup Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 2

Gently crush the fresh mint leaves using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their aroma and flavor.

Step 3

Add the crushed mint leaves to the lemon juice mixture and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 4

Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the mint leaves and zest, leaving behind a smooth lemon base.

Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, about half a cup per glass.

Step 6

Divide the lemon base evenly between the two glasses.

Step 7

Top each glass with one cup of cold sparkling water, stirring gently to combine.
