Honey Apple Fizzy Drink (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ To Make the Apple Syrup

01 - 2 cups fresh water
02 - 4 tablespoons of natural honey
03 - 3 tart green apples (like Granny Smith)

→ For Serving

04 - Ice cubes
05 - Club soda or sparkling water

# Instructions:

01 - Cut the apples into small chunks, removing the core while you do so. Work fast to avoid them turning brown from air exposure.
02 - Put the apple chunks, water, and honey into a big pot. Turn up the heat to boil, then lower it to a soft simmer. Let it cook gently for 15 minutes, mashing the apples occasionally to extract their juices.
03 - Take the pot off the heat and set aside to cool completely. After it's cool, pour the mixture through a fine strainer into a jug or bowl, pressing the apple pieces to release all the flavor. Toss the leftover solids.
04 - Pour 2-3 tablespoons (about an inch) of apple syrup into each glass. Fill the rest with sparkling water or soda, throw in some ice cubes, and stir gently.

# Notes:

01 - This fizzy non-alcoholic drink combines the tart kick of green apples with honey’s sweetness for an elegant, booze-free option.
02 - You can keep the apple syrup in your fridge for up to five days, so whipping up a mocktail is fast whenever you want one.
