Ingredients

2 servings

For the mint syrup

¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed, plus extra sprigs for serving
¼ cup honey
¼ cup water

For the drink

3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
¼ tsp fine sea salt
2 cups plain sparkling water, chilled
1 cup ice cubes

For serving

2 fresh mint sprigs (optional)
2 lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the honey and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add the 1/4 cup mint leaves, and stir to submerge them.
2
Let the mint steep in the warm syrup for 10 minutes, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl or jar, pressing the leaves gently to extract their flavor. Discard the spent mint. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
