Instructions

  • Pour the water into a pitcher, add the agave syrup or sugar mixture, and mix well.
  • Squeeze the juice from the lemons and limes into the pitcher, reserving the spent citrus halves. Taste and, if desired, add agave syrup or sugar according to taste.
  • If desired, slice 2 squeezed lemon halves and 4 squeezed lime halves in half again (by our count, that makes 12 wedges) and toss them in the pitcher.
  • Serve over ice.
