# What You’ll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 tablespoons jam, any flavor, at room temperature

04 - 3 to 4 ice cubes

→ Optional Garnishes

05 - Fresh fruit (such as berries, peach slices, orange wheel) for garnish
06 - Fresh herbs (such as mint, basil, rosemary) for garnish

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Add jam and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the bottom of a tall glass.
02 - Stir jam and lemon juice together with a spoon to partially dissolve the preserves.
03 - Slowly pour chilled seltzer water into the glass, allowing the mixture to bubble and blend.
04 - Gently add ice cubes, leaving room at the top if desired for extra garnishes.
05 - Gently stir once, then top with fresh fruit or herbs if using. Serve immediately.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For best flavor, let refrigerated jam warm slightly before mixing. Adjust sweetness to taste by varying jam quantity. Mix from the bottom with each sip for a balanced taste. Lime juice works well with tropical jams.
