• Ice cubes
• Optional garnish: citrus slices, rosemary sprig, or pomegranate arils

Instructions:

1. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
2. Add freshly squeezed orange juice and lime juice.

1. For extra gut support, swap plain sparkling water for a probiotic sparkling water (like Health-Ade or Culture Pop).
