# Steps:
01 -
Finish by adding ice cubes to your glasses or mix it all in the pitcher before pouring. Top each glass with a bit of dragonfruit, some mint, and a slice of lemon if you like.
02 -
Let your pitcher hang out in the fridge for no less than 2 hours so everything gets cold and the tastes mix nicely.
03 -
Pour the dragonfruit mix through a fine strainer straight into your big pitcher. Give it a really good stir to mix up the color and flavor.
04 -
Grab a big pitcher and add in your lemon juice, the simple syrup you made and whatever cold water you have left. Stir until it all comes together.
05 -
Put your sugar and 240 ml of your cold water into a saucepan. Heat on medium, keep stirring till the sugar vanishes. Take it off the heat and let it cool.
06 -
In a blender, whizz up the chopped chunks of dragonfruit with some warm water until you have a silky smooth mix.
# Notes:
01 -
Want it less sweet? Just go with a smaller amount of sugar to start. Mix everything up and taste before tossing in more.
02 -
If you want your drink to look extra bright, grab dragonfruit with a super pink inside.
