- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups orange juice
- 4 cups sparkling water
Directions
- Grate 2 tablespoons each of lemon and orange zest.
- Squeeze 1/3 cup lemon juice from 3 of the lemons. Set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse the Sue Bee® honey, ginger and sugar until just combined. Add the orange and lemon juices and process.
- Transfer to a large lidded container. Add the orange and lemon zests and 2 cups of boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves.
