Prepare the Tonic Syrup
In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Add in quinine powder (if available) and let it simmer until it thickens slightly. Allow to cool before use.

Prepare the Espresso
Brew a double shot of espresso using your favorite coffee beans.

Assemble the Drink
Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the housemade tonic syrup over the ice, followed by the soda water. Finally, slowly pour the espresso on top to create a layered effect.
