- Transfer cooled syrup to a glass jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of cold filtered water and crushed ice. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, strain out seeds, and stir well.

Notes
Prepare saffron syrup a day ahead for deeper flavors. Add lemon juice to syrup just before serving to maintain brightness.
