Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups unbleached cane sugar, preferably organic
3/4 cup water
1/2 lb fresh gingerroot, washed and sliced
1 large lemon, preferably organic, washed and sliced into rounds. Reserve half of the rounds for garnish
3/4 cup seltzer water or 3/4 cup sparkling water, per serving

Steps:

  • Make double-strength simple syrup:.
  • Place sugar and water in medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, using a wooden spoon to stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
  • Make simple syrup into flavored syrup:.
  • Place the ginger, lemon, and the simple syrup in a blender jar, cover the jar, and blend on lowest speed until the solid ingredients are roughly chopped, about 1 minute.
  • Turn off the blender and let the mixture steep for 10 minutes. Repeat, this time blending the syrup on medium speed for 1 minute, then shut it off and let steep 10 minutes more.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve lined with 2 layers of water-moistened cheesecloth over a medium bowl. Store syrup tightly covered in the refrigerator up to a week.
  • Make sodas:.
  • To serve, fill a glass with crushed ice and 3/4 cup seltzer. Top with 1/4 cup ginger-lemon syrup and stir. Adjust flavor with more syrup or seltzer as needed. Garnish with a lemon wheel.

ITALIAN SODA SYRUP



Italian Soda Syrup image

How to make your own soda flavoring syrup. Experiment with different flavors to make a unique soda just for you. So Easy! One of the first things I learned to make when I started cooking. Heating longer will make it thicker. Heat for less to make it thinner. This is also good on Ice cream and pancakes. Yum!
