- 2 cups green tea, brewed and chilled
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

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.
