Notes
- Adjust amount of sugar based on your preference.
- You must use freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice for best flavor.
- Don't add ice because it will melt and dilute the flavor. Instead, just chill in the fridge until it's cold.
- To make this fizzy, replace 4 cups regular water with chilled sparkling water. You will need to serve immediately to keep the fizz intact though.
- Collagen peptides are completely optional and can be omitted.
- Read additional tips and variations above.
- Leftover can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
