Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Stir everything together, and serve over ice. Feel free to garnish with lemon or watermelon slices, and/or mint!
Sugar free: Any number of artificial sweeteners would work well here. (And many do not need to be boiled to dissolve, so you could just add them in directly.)
Herbal: For an extra kick, add a sprig of fresh rosemary or mint leaves into the water as you boil the simple syrup.
Bubbly: Substitute setlzer or sparkling water (or champagne!) for some extra fizz!
Mixed: Substitute some vodka or other mixer of choice to kick it up a notch!
Frozen: I imagine this would be fantastic as a slush! Or, it freezes nicely into sweet little popsickles or ice cubes. :)
