Chef Tips from the Video

• Lightly crush mint, basil, or rosemary before adding to release essential oils.
• Use room‑temperature water for the first 30 minutes to speed up flavor extraction, then chill.
• For a sparkling version, replace half the water with club soda just before serving.

Troubleshooting

Storage

Make-Ahead Tips
