Please note that this recipe contains saffron, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Additionally, exercise caution when handling carbonated beverages as they can be quite fizzy. Lastly, be sure to drink responsibly and enjoy these mocktails in moderation.

1

Brewing the saffron

Start by adding a pinch of saffron threads to a small cup. Pour 1/4 cup of boiling water over the saffron and let it steep for about 10 minutes. This will extract the vibrant flavors and beautiful color of saffron.

2

Preparing the lemonade base

In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will create a tangy and slightly sweet lemonade base.

3

Adding the saffron infusion

Once the saffron has finished steeping, strain the infused liquid into the pitcher with the lemonade base. Discard the saffron threads. Stir well to incorporate the saffron flavor into the lemonade.

4

Chilling the lemonade

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let the lemonade chill for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a refreshing mocktail base.

5

Making it sparkle

When you're ready to serve, fill tall glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled lemonade over the ice. Top off each glass with sparkling water or club soda for that satisfying fizz. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
