by

Ingredients

  • 4 large oranges (preferably organic)
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 cup of sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1 ½ cups of water
  • ½ teaspoon citric acid (for tartness)
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Carbonated water or sparkling water (to mix and make it fizzy)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (optional for additional sweetness)
  • A few drops of orange food coloring (optional for extra color)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the citrus fruits:
    • Zest the oranges and lemons and set the zest aside.
    • Squeeze the juice from the oranges and lemons, ensuring there are no seeds.
  2. Make the syrup:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, citric acid, orange zest, and lemon zest.
    • Heat over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
    • Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
    • Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  3. Add flavor:
    • If you prefer a richer flavor, stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
    • For extra sweetness, add honey, stirring until well combined.
  4. Mix with sparkling water:
    • Once the syrup is cooled, pour it into a large bottle or jug.
    • For each serving, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup with 1 cup of chilled carbonated water or sparkling water.
    • Adjust the syrup quantity to your preferred taste.
  5. Store:
    • To preserve the syrup for long-term use, pour it into glass bottles, leaving some space at the top for expansion.
    • Seal the bottles tightly and refrigerate them.
    • This homemade Fanta syrup stays fresh for up to 2 years if kept in the fridge.
  6. Enjoy:
    • Serve the homemade Fanta over ice for a refreshing drink. You can also add a slice of orange or lemon as garnish.

Tips:

  • You can adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less sugar.
  • This syrup can be mixed with still water if you don’t have sparkling water.
  • Add a few drops of orange food coloring if you want the drink to resemble the store-bought Fanta.

Enjoy your fresh, chemical-free homemade Fanta!
