From The Washington Post: Natural juice-based drinks help maintain hydration in summer’s heat. This one is gently sweetened with honey, flavored with lemon and spiked with a hint of mint.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 cups honey
- 1/2 cup water
- Juice from 2 to 5 lemons (1/2 to 3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup packed mint leaves, plus mint sprigs for garnish
- Syfo Lemon-Lime Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water, chilled
- Ice
PREPARATION:
Heat the honey, water, and lemon juice and zest in a small nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches a low boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Stir in the mint leaves, then cover the saucepan and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and into a Mason jar or other lidded storage container, discarding the solids left in the strainer. Cover and refrigerate.
To serve, measure 1 tablespoon of syrup into a drinking glass and add 1 cup of sparkling water. Stir to combine. Add ice if desired. Taste, and add syrup or sparkling water as needed. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
