Step-by-Step Instructions for Witches Brew Lemonade

In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir vigorously until the sugar completely dissolves, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Next, sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring the charcoal is fully incorporated.
Gently pour in 1 cup of soda water while stirring lightly. This should be done slowly to preserve the carbonation of the soda.
Slice fresh lemons into thin rounds for garnishing, aiming for about 5-6 slices.
Fill glasses with ice, then pour the Witches Brew Lemonade over the ice until the glasses are about three-quarters full.
Finally, garnish each glass with fresh lemon slices and a few gummy worms or candy eyeballs for that extra spooky flair.
