Method
Directions for Making Tonic Water

Prepare the Base
In a saucepan, combine water, quinine powder, sugar, and citric acid. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Simmer and Infuse
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld together.

Cool and Strain
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool. Once cooled, strain it through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove any solids.

In a large pitcher, mix the strained tonic base with the club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
