Ingredients:
16 fl. oz (1 serving)
Mint Sprigs - 4
White Sugar - 1/8 of tsp
Ice - glass 3/4 full
Lime - 1
1/2 lime for juice
1/4 lime for garnish
Cold Brew Coffee - 6 fl. oz. (3/4 cup)
Sparkling Water - 4 fl. oz. (1/2 cup)
Supplies:
Mason Jar or 16 fl. oz. glass

Juicer / Hand Juicer (Optional)
Recipe:
Start by removing mint tips (2) and leaves (4) from the mint stems
Add 1 mint tip and all leaves to the bottom of the glass
Add sugar (1/8 tsp.) to the mint leaves
Juice in lime to help with muddling the mint
Using the back of a spoon, begin to press (muddle) the sugar into the mint leaves. Maintain texture and structure of mint leaves. We only want the oils of the mint to release and open up
Add ice to cup
Pour cold brew (6 fl. oz) over the ice
Next, pour sparkling water (4 fl. oz) over cold brew. Pour from a height to allow mixing of the cold brew and mint.
Using the muddling spoon, gentle stir the drink to incorporate all the ingredients.
Finish with a garnish of a mint tip and lime quarter
Enjoy on a nice sunny day, or a day when you need a little sunshine feeling.
Something WE Learned: Switch out sparkling water for lime flavored sparkling water for an additional lime essences
