Notes
Use ripe kiwis for the best flavor. They should yield slightly when pressed.
To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then cool completely.
Store leftover simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For a sweeter drink, adjust the simple syrup amount to taste.
