Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Sugar Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Mix the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup, 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1 tsp of orange extract. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Adjust the Flavor

    Add 1 tsp of citric acid to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved. This will add a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness.

  4. 4

    Color the Drink

    If desired, add 2 drops of natural orange food coloring to achieve the vibrant orange color typical of Fanta. Stir gently to mix.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the orange mixture with 2 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.

  2. 6

    Serve

    To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes (if using) and pour the Fanta orange drink over the ice. Enjoy your homemade Fanta Orange!
