For a sweeter flavor, add a touch more stevia or a small amount of honey or agave nectar. Experiment with other fruits and herbs, such as berries, mint, basil, or rosemary. If you don't have melissa leaves, you can substitute with other citrusy herbs like lemon verbena. Adjust the amount of ginger to your preferred level of spice. For a sparkling version, use sparkling water or club soda instead of still water.
