How to Make Citrus Syrup For Soft Drinks
- Combine 1 cup of mixed citrus juices (orange, lemon, and lime are recommended) in a small saucepan.
- Add 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the zest of 1 orange, 1 lemon, and 1 lime. Stir gently.
- Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Let the syrup cool slightly. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the zest.
- Pour the strained syrup into a jar or bottle. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating.
- To serve, mix the citrus syrup with chilled club soda or seltzer to your desired sweetness. Garnish with extra citrus slices if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious homemade sparkling citrus drink!
