Tonic Water Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Tonic Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 tsp of quinine powder, and 1 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and quinine dissolve completely. Bring to a simmer and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavor

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tsp of citric acid and 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Strain the Syrup

    Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids. Store the syrup in a clean bottle in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

  4. 4

    Mix the Tonic Water

    To serve, mix 1 part tonic syrup with 2 parts club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently and serve over ice with lime slices for garnish.
