Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir the mixture vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.
  2. Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder to the pitcher. Use a whisk or spoon to mix it well for another 1-2 minutes until the lemonade turns a deep, rich black hue.
  3. Gently pour in 1 cup of soda water, taking care not to stir too vigorously to preserve the bubbles.
  4. Slice fresh lemons into thin rounds for an added flair. Lay them aside as a beautiful garnish.
  5. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes, then pour the lemonade over the ice. Top off each glass with lemon slices and sprinkle a few gummy worms or candy eyeballs.
  6. Consider serving your Witches Brew Lemonade in whimsical glassware like mason jars or fun cocktail glasses.
