Let’s dive into making this wonderful concoction that epitomizes the essence of Zoyaaz: warmth, creativity, and family bonding.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
• 2 tablespoons elderflower syrup
• 2 cups green tea, brewed and chilled
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups sparkling water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by blending the sliced kiwis until smooth. You’ll be left with a vibrant green puree that smells incredibly fresh and inviting.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the kiwi puree with elderflower syrup, chilled green tea, and lemon juice. Stir well until everything is nicely mixed.
3. Just before serving, gently stir in the sparkling water. This will add a delightful fizz to our tea, making it even more refreshing.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the kiwi elderflower mixture over the ice. Top each glass with a couple of fresh mint leaves for that final touch of elegance.
5. Serve immediately, and enjoy the sweet, floral aroma and the burst of flavors in every sip.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a different twist, try replacing elderflower syrup with lavender syrup for a unique floral note.
• To add a tropical flair, garnish with a slice of kiwi or a wedge of lime on the glass rim.
• This drink is perfect for both family gatherings and quiet moments solo. Just adjust the serving size as needed!

Storage and Substitutions

• If you have any leftover tea mixture, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Remember to add the sparkling water just before serving to keep it fizzy.
• If elderflower syrup is unavailable, a combination of honey and a few drops of floral extract can be used as a substitute.
