Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Create the Syrup Base

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the citric acid and natural flavors (raspberry, blackcurrant, and grape). Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Cool the Mixture

    Allow the syrup mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate.

Serving

  1. 4

    Mix with Water

    To serve, mix 1 part of the syrup with 4 parts of cold water. Adjust to taste based on your desired sweetness.

  2. 5

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, serve the Vimto over ice cubes and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
