Lemon Spritz

Instructions

Squeeze the lemons: Grab a citrus press and squeeze until you have 120ml of that clear juice. Strain it if you don’t like the pips.
Boil the simple syrup: If you don’t have any to hand (no problem), simply combine equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool.
Combine the fresh lemon juice and simple syrup in a large jug and stir well.
Ice it up: Grab your serving glasses and fill them about halfway with ice cubes. Pour it: Fill each glass three-quarters full with your zesty mixture.

Fizz it up: * Top each glass off with sparkling water or club soda. Let the fizz come to life.

5. Garnish like a pro: Add a lemon wedge and a few mint leaves for a touch of flair.

6. Serve and enjoy: Give it a quick stir and serve immediately. It’s time to enjoy those bright, refreshing flavours!
