Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 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!
