Ingredients

  • 1 L cold water
  • 300 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 100 g light muscovado sugar
  • ice cubes and mint sprigs for decoration

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar and 200 ml of water in a small saucepan and set on medium heat. Heat the mixture stirring from time to time until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and place it in a cold water bath to speed up the cooling time.
  • Squeeze the lemons until you have 300 ml of juice. This may mean using 4-6 lemons depending on size and type. Add 800 ml of cold water to a jug and pour in lemon juice making sure to strain it to retain lemon seeds and pulp.
  • When the muscovado simple syrup has cooled down, add that to lemon mixture. Stir well and serve over ice. Decorate with fresh mint sprigs or other herbs of choice (optional).
