Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Grapefruit Soda (Ting)

This is my adaption on Glen and Friends Cooking’s Ting Recipe (https://youtu.be/xJc_q1ZNv48).

I use white grapefruit as they are a little sweeter (meaning we need less sugar) and look more like ting.

Because of the sugar content and citric acid from the lemons this should keep for a good few months (that won’t be a problem because it is so delicious ;-) )

Ingredients

2 White grapefruit

3 Lemons

250 grams of sugar

500 ml of water

Method

Zest one of the grapefruit into a heatproof container or pan

Juice both grapefruit and all the lemons into the heat proof container

Add the sugar to the heatproof container

Pour over 500ml of boiling water (or add the water and bring to the boil and then take off the heat)

Stir until all the sugar has dissolved

Leave to cool

Pour into your bottle and seal

Serving

Fill a glass 1 quarter full with the syrup and top up with chilled soda water.

Enjoy

Equipment

1 pan

A juicer big enough for grapefruit (https://amzn.to/2YPEIfb I use this one)

A clean sterile bottle (I used a thorougly cleaned and sterilised screw top wine bottle)
