Ingredients
1
part
Water
1 cup is a good starting point
1
part
sugar
Supposedly you need 1 part sugar. But when using 1 cup of water, I like to stick to 1 tablespoon of sugar. We could all use a little less sugar in our lives.
1
Lemon
Herbs
Fresh preferably
Flowers
Dried flowers work better. Ensure they are edible.
