Learn How to Make Delicious Homemade Soda
O Que Você Precisa Saber
- Preparing the simple sugar syrup prevents granules from remaining at the bottom of the jar, ensuring homogeneous sweetness in the drink. - Grinding the fruits with lemon juice prevents premature enzymatic browning of the fresh pulp. - Straining through a fine-mesh sieve removes excess fiber and pulp, resulting in a fluid, clear liquid that is easy to drink.

- 1 cup of chopped fruits (orange, lemon, passion fruit)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 liters of cold water
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Ice to taste
- Try using other fruits like pineapple or apple for flavor variations.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to taste for a sweeter or less sweet soda.
- Use sparkling water for an effervescent version of the soda.
- Store in glass bottles to maintain freshness for longer.
- Serve very cold for an even more refreshing flavor.

Chef Tips
- Let the sugar syrup cool before mixing into the fruit juice so as not to heat the ingredients and maintain freshness.
- Press the pulp against the sieve with a spoon to extract all the concentrated aromas from the segments and peels.
- Use very cold mineral water or finish with plenty of ice to enhance the aromatic profile of the citrus fruits.
Variations
- Add two slices of fresh ginger to the boiling sugar syrup to impart a spicy ginger ale-style profile. - Add fresh basil leaves lightly macerated in the jar for a sophisticated and herbaceous version. - Mix whole apple juice into the base to reduce the need for refined sugar and add natural sweetness.
Substitutions
- Regular cold water can be replaced by sparkling mineral water to obtain the classic effervescence of commercial soda. - Refined sugar can be swapped for light demerara sugar or wild honey in the preparation of the base syrup. - The combination of orange and passion fruit can be replaced by red fruit pulp or pineapple with mint.
How to Store
Keep the homemade soda in a glass bottle with an airtight lid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If made with sparkling water, seal it very well to avoid losing the fizz in the first 24 hours.
Can You Freeze It?
You can freeze the concentrated fruit syrup with the sugar syrup in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. To serve, simply add the syrup cubes to a glass with cold or sparkling water and stir.
What to Serve With
Pairs with natural snacks, homemade artisanal burgers, thin-crust pizzas, salted popcorn, or bar snacks like meat pastéis.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to make homemade soda with gas equal to industrial?
Substitute the 2 liters of ice water with very cold sparkling water, mixing gently at the end so as not to lose carbonation.
Can I replace the sugar in the syrup with sweetener?
Yes, you can sweeten the juice directly with culinary sweetener or stevia, dispensing with the preparation of the hot syrup on the stove.
Can I use bottled concentrated juice instead of fresh fruits?
You can, but the result loses the aromatic essential oils and the characteristic lightness of the fruit naturally blended on the spot.
Why does the sugar syrup need to be made before?
Cold sugar takes longer to dissolve in cold liquids; by dissolving beforehand in warm water, the mixture becomes perfect.
