Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the calamansi and slice each one in half across the middle.
- Hold a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup. Squeeze the fruit cut-side up to catch the seeds.
- Measure out 1/2 cup of calamansi juice.
- In a pitcher, stir together the juice and 3 cups of cold water.
- Add 1/3 cup of sweetener to start and a small pinch of salt if using.
- Stir well until dissolved. Taste and adjust with more water or sweetener as needed.
- Fill glasses with plenty of ice and pour the calamansi juice.
- Garnish with a wheel of calamansi or a sprig of mint if desired.
Notes
Sweetness is personal; start with less sweetener and adjust to taste. Calamansi juice can be stored as a concentrate in the fridge for consistent flavor. For a sparkling version, use chilled soda water instead of some of the water.
