Step-by-Step New Zealand Manuka Honey Pear Sparkler:
This vibrant and refreshing drink is a delightful twist on classic lemonade, bursting with the natural sweetness of pears and the unique touch of Manuka honey. Get ready to experience a taste of New Zealand with every bubbly sip!

Ingredients:

2 ripe pears, thinly sliced
1 cup hot water
3 tablespoons Manuka honey (or regular honey)
1 cup cold lemonade (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup chilled sparkling water
Ice cubes, for serving
Optional Garnishes: Pear slice, fresh mint sprig
Instructions:

Steep the Pears: In a heat-resistant pitcher, combine the sliced pears with hot water. Let them steep for 15-20 minutes, allowing the pear flavor to infuse the water.

Strain and Sweeten: Strain the pear-infused water into a separate pitcher, discarding the pear slices. Stir in the Manuka honey until it dissolves completely.

Add Lemonade: Pour in the cold lemonade and give it a good stir to combine all the flavors.

Chill and Prepare to Sparkle: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to ensure it's nice and cold.

Fizz it Up! Fill your glasses with ice cubes. Gently pour the chilled pear mixture over the ice, leaving some space at the top. Slowly top each glass with sparkling water, creating a beautiful fizzy effect.

Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish your glasses with a pear slice and a fresh mint sprig (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing New Zealand Manuka Honey Pear Sparkler!

Tips:

If you can't find Manuka honey, you can substitute it with regular honey. However, Manuka honey has a unique flavor profile that adds a special touch to this drink.
Adjust the amount of Manuka honey depending on your desired sweetness level. Start with a smaller amount and taste as you go.
For a more intense pear flavor, you can muddle a few of the pear slices before steeping them in hot water.
Leftover New Zealand Manuka Honey Pear Sparkler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavor may intensify slightly, so adjust the sweetness or dilution with more lemonade or sparkling water before serving again.
