Instructions
- Wash the nance and remove the stems. Lightly crush the fruit to open them.
- Boil 500 ml of water with the sugar for 3 minutes until you have a light syrup.
- Add the crushed fruit to the hot syrup and let it steep for 10 minutes off the heat.
- Press the fruit by hand or with a potato masher to extract as much pulp and juice as possible.
- Strain the liquid, add the rest of the cold water and the pinch of salt.
- Serve well chilled over ice, with a lime slice if you like.
Variations and tips
Pulpy version. Don't strain completely, so some pulp remains in the drink.
