Instructions
- Make simple syrup. Over low heat, gently simmer as much sugar as you’d like with 1/4 cup water until the sugar dissolves. We finally settled on 1 1/2 cups sugar as the magic touch. Stir occasionally
- While the sugar dissolves, prepare your pitcher. Add a heap of ice, the lemon/lime juices, and several sprigs of mint.
- Pour on the simple syrup and dilute with water until it tastes like the best sunshine you ever sipped. You can also dilute it with straight ice cubes, if you won’t need it for a while.
- Give the pitcher a happy stir, then pour over ice, garnish with extra mint and sip, sip your way to an Israeli summer.
