Fresh Orangeade

The orange syrup can be kept around for fresh batches of the orangeade.




List of Ingredients





Orange Syrup:


4 cups sugar

2 cups water

Zest from 3 medium oranges, cut into thin strips
Orangeade:


1 tablespoon Orange Syrup

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

4 ounces water or sparkling water
To make Orange Syrup: In a large heavy pot, combine 4 cups sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Lower heat to maintain a steady boil. With a brush dipped in water, wash down any sugar crystals clinging to side of the pot. Boil 5 minutes, uncovered, without stirring. Remove from heat and cool briefly. Add orange zest to syrup. Working with half the mixture at a time so you don't splash yourself, pour syrup and zest into a blender and puree. Strain into a clean container. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.

To make Orangeade: In a tall glass, combine 1 tablespoon Orange Syrup, lemon juice and freshly squeezed orange juice. Stir well and add ice. Top with water or sparkling water.
