Make home-soda concentrate yourself
Time
Preparation time: 20 min.
This summer, even if he is often to be hoped for, there are in many beer gardens a so-called homemade limo homemade. Tasty with lemons, ice and mint or basil. I came up with a simple recipe for making this concentrate or syrup myself. Also arrived wonderfully as a gift. I used the following:
ingredients
- 4 organic oranges
- 4 organic lemons
- 4 limes
- 250 g cane sugar
For this you need a zest cutter for citrus fruits, which is usually available for kitchen accessories or cocktail accessories to buy.
preparation
- I first liberated the lemons and limonene from their top skin with the zest cutter. That's why I chose the organic fruits. These zests were part of the recipe.
- Then all the fruits squeezed out again.
- Bring the squeezed juice, zest and cane sugar to a boil while stirring in a saucepan and simmer for another two to three minutes.
- Then I let the whole thing through for about 15 minutes and once sieved.
- The finished amount was about 800ml, depends on the amount of fruit juice.
- Bottled, finished.
So far stored in the refrigerator without problems more than three weeks. But it does not stand that long, of course, but ends up in the glass.
About 20-30 ml, depending on taste, is enough for a glass. Enjoy with mineral water, ice and lemons / lime slices as well as mint, basil or lemon shrub.
Also delicious as a hot drink with honey, autumn is coming soon. ?
