Grapefruit Syrup For Sodastream Food

GRAPEFRUIT SYRUP FOR SODASTREAM

Steps:

• Slice Grapefruit into 1/4 inch rounds. (Discard ends and any slices that have too much pith.).
• Place all ingredients in a saute pan and bring to a boil.
• Boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring intermittently. (I used a fork to make sure the fruit slices were stirred around evenly and changed them up from top to bottom a bit to ensure all were cooked into the mix thoroughly.).
• Remove from heat and remove grapefruit slices, squeezing gently to get out most of the juice.
• Mix 1/2 Cup of the syrup with 1 Liter of carbonated water.
• Store remaining syrup in bottle or airtight container.

GRAPEFRUIT SIMPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• 1. Wash the citrus under cold water and dry. Finely grate the peel, avoiding the white pith, until you have a heaping 2 Tbsp. grated peel. 2. In a bowl, vigorously stir the zest into the sugar. Use the back of a spoon to crush the zest into the sugar, until the sugar appears slushy and damp. Cover well and let sit overnight or several hours. 3. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan and stir in the citrus sugar. Simmer the syrup for 3 minutes to dissolve the sugar. 4. Take off the heat and let cool. Strain out the zest and store the syrup in the refrigerator.
