Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Syrup

    In a large pot, combine 1 liter of water and 300 grams of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Citric Acid

    Once the sugar is dissolved, add 20 grams of citric acid to the pot. Stir well to combine. This will give the drink its tangy flavor.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Flavoring

    Add 10 grams of natural orange flavor to the syrup mixture, stirring continuously to ensure even distribution.

  4. 4

    Add Food Coloring

    Add a drop of orange food coloring to the syrup mixture. Stir until the color is evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Cool the Syrup

    Remove the pot from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.

  6. 6

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    Once the syrup is cool, mix it with 500 ml of carbonated water in a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose the carbonation.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Pour the Fanta into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Fanta!
