# Instructions:

01 - Put 1-2 tablespoons of jam into your glass. Pick the amount based on how sweet you prefer it.
02 - Pour in two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. This will cut through the jam’s sweetness nicely.
03 - Mix the lemon juice and jam thoroughly. Keep stirring until the jam melts in a bit.

# Notes:

01 - Explore different jams like blackberry, peach, raspberry, or strawberry to switch things up.

03 - If your jam has chunks of fruit, strain the liquid to make it smoother.
