Ingredients:

• 8 fresh tangerines, juiced
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup sparkling water
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed tangerine juice and honey, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. The tangy aroma of freshly squeezed citrus juice will instantly fill your kitchen.
2. Add the fresh mint leaves, gently muddling them with a spoon to release their natural oils, ensuring you get that invigorating minty essence.
3. Pour in the sparkling water, giving the mixture a gentle stir to combine all the flavors.
4. Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes, then carefully pour the tangerine mint infusion over the ice.
5. Garnish with extra mint sprigs and tangerine slices for an elegant touch that’s sure to impress.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

• For a natural sweetener, replace honey with agave syrup or skip altogether if you prefer a less sweet drink.

• This recipe can be scaled up easily for larger gatherings.

Storage and Substitutions:

• If you have leftovers, store the tangerine mint base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add fresh sparkling water before serving.
• If tangerines are out of season, substitute with oranges or clementines for a similar sweet citrus flavor.
• For a sugar-free version, omit the honey or use a sugar substitute of your choice.
