Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or jar, pressing to extract all liquid. Discard solids.

Add the Fizz:
Pour in sparkling water and gently stir to combine. -
Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices, mint, or fresh blueberries. Enjoy immediately for maximum carbonation.
Notes

Add sparkling water just before serving to preserve fizz.

For a party pitcher, double the recipe and serve in a clear glass dispenser for visual appeal.
