Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 30-40 green shiso leaves (Adjust the quantity depending on the size of the leaves.)
- 4 cups water
- 3.2 oz granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
Garnish (optional):
- green shiso leaves
Instructions
- Rinse each green shiso leaf under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the stems, as they can make the drink taste bitter. At this point, gently patting the leaves with your hands will help release more of their aroma.
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the shiso leaves and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and remove the leaves. Add sugar to the pot and stir until it dissolves. Let the liquid cool to room temperature (you can transfer it to the fridge once it has cooled down slightly).It doesn't matter whether you squeeze any remaining liquid out of the leaves or not.
- After the liquid has cooled completely, stir in the lemon juice. The color of the liquid may change, which is perfectly normal. Pour the mixture into a sterilized container and store it in the refrigerator.
- When serving, you can garnish each glass with a green shiso leaf for a touch of color (optional).
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
