3. Stir in the 2 cups of ice.
4. Taste and add more water If needed, but remember when the ice melts it will be diluted a tad more.

Fruit Syrup

1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine the fruit and sugar.
2. Stir, as the pan heats up the sugar will start to melt down and the fruit will let off liquid. Continue stirring and mashing the fruit.

4. Run the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds, skin or pulp. Allow the syrup to cool slightly before mixing your drink together.
