Instructions

  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more robust flavor, consider adding a splash of gin or vodka to create a refreshing cocktail version.
  • 💡 If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of honey to your liking or try using agave syrup as an alternative.
  • 💡 Experiment with different herbs like basil or rosemary for a unique twist.
