# Ingredients:

01 -
60 ml warm water for blending up dragonfruit
02 -
1 medium-sized pink dragonfruit, peeled and diced up
→ Citrus
03 -
240 ml squeezed lemon juice (roughly 6–8 lemons worth)
→ Sweetener
04 -
120–180 g plain sugar (add to taste)

960 ml cold water, split as needed
→ Serving and Garnish (optional)
06 -
About 140 g (1 cup) ice cubes
07 -
Fresh lemon rings
08 -
A few mint sprigs
09 -
Extra dragonfruit pieces
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop ice cubes in the glasses or pitcher, right before you pour. Top with mint sprigs, lemon rings, and some dragonfruit chunks if you feel like it.
02 -
Stick the pitcher in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Give it time to cool down and let those flavors come together.
03 -
Strain your dragonfruit mixture with a fine strainer straight into the pitcher. Mix well so everything plays nice together.
04 -
Pour the squeezed lemon juice, the cooled syrup, and the rest of the cold water into a big jug. Give it a really good stir.
05 -
In a pot, warm up a bit of the cold water with sugar on medium, stirring until the sugar totally disappears. Set it aside to cool off.
06 -
Toss the chopped dragonfruit and warm water into your blender and blend them up until there aren't any lumps left.
# Notes:
01 -
You can always use less sugar first and add more after mixing. It’s easy to tweak the sweetness so it tastes just right for you.
02 -
If you want your drink to pop with color, grab dragonfruit with deep, bright pink insides.
