Tonic Water (Desmond's Simplified Version)

Recipes

I based this one off of Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s but I cut out a lot of the ingredients. I prefer this one because it’s simpler and doesn’t fight so much when you pair it with a good gin.

Yield: 4 cups syrup

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup cut cinchona bark
• zest of 1 orange
• zest of 1 lemon
• zest of 1 lime
• 3 Tbsp cup citric acid
• 1/4 tsp Kosher salt

Instructions

Combine ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once mixture starts to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth.
