Ingredients
- 8 tangerines, juiced
- 4 limes, juiced
- 2 tablespoons honey (or to taste)
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by juicing the tangerines. The aroma of freshly squeezed tangerines should fill your kitchen, setting the stage for a delightful drink.
- Next, juice the limes. The zesty, tangy fragrance of lime juice will blend beautifully with the tangerine’s sweetness.
- In a pitcher, mix together the tangerine juice, lime juice, and honey. Stir well until the honey is completely dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Add the cold water to the pitcher and mix well. The combination should be balanced and refreshing.
- Fill each serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the tangerine lime juice over the ice, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of citrus flavors with your family and friends.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- For an extra kick, add a splash of soda water to each glass just before serving.
- If honey isn’t available, you can use agave syrup or simple syrup as a substitute.
- Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience.
- For a fancier presentation, garnish with a slice of lime or tangerine on the rim of the glass.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Stir it well before serving again.
- If tangerines are out of season, substitute with mandarins or clementines.
- For a lower sugar option, replace honey with a dash of stevia or let the natural sweetness of the tangerines shine through on their own.
