1
Prepare the Orange Juice
Juice fresh oranges to obtain one cup of fresh orange juice, ensuring to strain out any pulp if desired.
2
Zest the Oranges
Using a zester or grater, carefully remove the zest from an orange, ensuring only the outer orange layer is taken without the bitter white pith. Measure out one teaspoon.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4
Combine with Carbonated Water
In a large pitcher, gently mix the carbonated water with the prepared orange mixture. If desired, add a drop of food coloring for a more vibrant color.
