Roll your lemons and oranges firmly against the countertop before juicing them to extract every last drop of precious citrus nectar.

Failing to strain out the spent rinds and mint leaves results in a swampy, pulpy sludge that will instantly offend the palates of your esteemed guests.

Beverage Integrity Protocol
Storage Science
Store in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator to prevent the absorption of ambient odors. Consume within 2-3 days. If it contains dairy, consume within 48 hours.
Reheating Science
If this is a hot beverage, reheat gently on the stovetop without bringing it to a rolling boil, which can scorch sugars and scald dairy proteins.
