  4. Pour in the remaining 3 cups of water and mix everything until well combined.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour or serve immediately over ice.

Notes

For variations, you can mix in other fruits like raspberries or peaches. Swap out regular water for sparkling water for a fizzy delight. To keep it vegan, use agave syrup or coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar.
