There is something genuinely refreshing about a homemade sparkling drink that tastes this bright and intentional. Fresh mint leaves are steeped in a warm honey syrup until fragrant, then strained out so the finished drink is perfectly clear and clean-tasting. A squeeze of both lime and lemon gives it a layered citrus punch, while a pinch of fine sea salt rounds everything out in a way that makes the flavors pop. Pouring the sparkling water slowly down the side of the glass keeps the fizz alive right up until the first sip. It's the kind of drink that looks like it came from a fancy café but comes together in your own kitchen with no special equipment beyond a small saucepan and a strainer. Since every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, you never have to second-guess a label or worry about hidden additives sneaking in.

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.
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.
