Ingredients

  • ½ ea. lemon, zested in strips and juiced
  • ½ ea. lime, zested in strips and juiced
  • ½ ea. orange, zested in strips and juiced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) white sugar
  • 30 mg caffeine (optional)
  • Carbonated water, as needed

Method

  1. Combine the citrus zests and sugar, rubbing the sugar into the peels to extract the oils. Let this mixture rest in the fridge for 24 hours to infuse.
  2. Combine the sugar-zest mixture with the citrus juices and caffeine. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and get a syrup.
  3. Strain the syrup—this should yield approximately 5 oz (150 ml) syrup.
  4. To make the finished beverage, mix 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.
