- Let it cool completely, then add the citrus juices and sweetener.
- Stir everything together thoroughly.
- Serving: Pour into glasses over ice, then garnish with citrus slices and mint leaves.
For an even more refreshing result, add a splash of sparkling water — that way you get a light, bubbly version of the drink.
