5) Mix with water and lime juice, to taste

7) Serve over ice with lime rounds & mint leaves

*Agave syrup is a low glycemic sweetener with a very mild flavor. It can be found at health food stores.


*Variation: You can also turn this into an adult drink by using your favorite mild liquor in place of all or part of the water.


To make Light Simple Syrup: Dissolve 1 c. honey or sugar in 2 c. boiling water. Stir until well combined. Allow to cool. Store unused portion in a glass jar in the fridge. (For a thicker syrup, you can use 1 part sugar to 1 part water.)
