Method

  1. Remove the zest from the oranges in strips, leaving behind the bitter white pith.
  2. Combine the sugar and orange zest in a container, and let this sit in the fridge for 24 hours. The sugar will extract the liquid from the citrus peels and produce a syrupy liquid.
  3. Stir the orange juice into the sugar mixture until everything is dissolved. Strain out the solids to yield slightly under ½ cup (120 ml) syrup.
  4. To make the finished soda, combine 1 volume of syrup with 3 volumes of carbonated water.

Notes

  • Use water from a carbonating machine or a brand of pure carbonated water such as Polar Original Sparkling Water, Great Value Seltzer Water, or Signature Select Seltzer Water. Do not use a brand of mineral water such as Perrier, San Pellegrino, or Mineragua because the added minerals will ruin the taste. Avoid flavored sparkling water such as La Croix or Spindrift because the preexisting fruit flavors will ruin the drink.
