Tara’s tips
- Muddling the mint with the sugar releases the oils far better than just dropping it in.
- Adjust the sugar to taste — it depends on how tart the lemons are.
Serving suggestions
- Best served immediately while it is fizzy and cold.
Storage & reheating
Make fresh; the mint discolours overnight.
