- 4 cups cold water
- 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
- Ice cubes
- Cotton candy (for garnish)
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature to create a simple syrup.

Notes
- For a fizzy version, substitute half of the cold water with lemon-lime soda or club soda.
