- Make the honey syrup: Stir 0.3 cups Honey Acres Orange Blossom Honey into 0.3 cups hot water until fully dissolved.
- Steep the lemon balm: Lightly bruise the 1 cup fresh lemon balm leaves, lightly packed, plus sprigs for garnish with your hands, add to the syrup, and let it steep.
- Strain and cool: Strain the syrup into a pitcher, pressing gently on the leaves, then let it cool. Stir in 0.5 cups of fresh lemon juice.
- Build the spritzers: Fill 4 glasses with 2 cups ice cubes, for serving, divide the syrup among them, and top with 3 cups chilled sparkling water. Garnish with lemon balm sprigs and stir gently.
