5. Garnish with mint leaves or a lemon wheel.

Clementine Syrup Recipe

1. Combine 500 g sugar with 500 ml water in a pot over medium-low heat.

2. Stir until sugar dissolves, then add 4 halved clementines, 4 star anise, and 5 cloves.

3. Let simmer for 30–45 minutes.

4. Remove clementines with tongs, squeezing to release juice. Remove spices.

Pro Tips

• For a lighter flavor, reduce star anise and clove by half.

• A highball glass with lots of ice keeps it crisp.
