🍸 How To Safely Make Tonic Water At Home

How To Safely Make Tonic Water At Home
Welcome Friends! Today in the kitchen we are going to make tonic water, and I know that as soon as I said tonic water there's probably already people writing comments down below about how dangerous
this is. You know what; they're probably right. It is a fairly dangerous, it is fraught with difficulties. One of the reasons that this could be construed as a very dangerous thing to make is that the main
ingredient is cinchona bark. Cinchona bark contains quinine, and too much quinine for certain people will cause problems.
This is not a covid-19 cure, treatment, or medicine. This is not a Coronavirus cure, treatment, or medicine. This is not the same as hydroxychloroquine, and can't be used to treat or cure covid-19 or coronavirus.
Ingredients:
750 mL water
3g - 4g cinchona bark, chopped, not powdered
9g gentian root, chopped, not powdered
18g citric acid
5 mL coarse salt
2 cardamom pods
5 allspice berries
8 black peppercorns
2 small star anise (optional)
27g fresh lemon zest
27g fresh orange zest
12g fresh lime zest
15g fresh lemongrass (chopped)
1Kg sugar
Method:
Add all the ingredients (except the sugar) in a pan and bring just to a boil.
Partially cover and let it simmer 8-10 minutes.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer and then pass through a fine coffee filter.
Put this liquid back into the pot with the sugar, and heat to just below a boil.
Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Chill and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
If you will be storing for more than a week, add 30 mL of vodka.
Mix 1 part Tonic syrup, with 5-6 parts carbonated water.

My grandmother upon feeling a bit sick would get a bottle of tonic water and have a glass a day untill the sickness passed. She lived to 92 with very little sickness in her life. I think we have forgotten too many tips from the past to help us stay healthy

Anyone else get the feeling Julie pops into these videos after a hard days work at NASA?

I absolutely love this channel. I love the part in each episode where the lady, who I assume is your wife, comes in for the tasting. The way you two talk with one another is wonderful. You are not over-the-top annoying, as if you're trying to "sell" something... instead, I really do get the feeling that you two live in my neighborhood, and I could pop over and see what Glen and his wife (Julie?) are up to today. It's kind of like... a very modern Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, but for adults.

Glen says perfect.

Anyone else find it satisfying watching and hearing Glen spray the carbonated water?

I still love a simplified version of your Kahlua. (in quart jar: 1 cup coffee grounds, 1 Tbs vanilla, 1 Tbs cocoa powder, 1 tsp cinnamon and fill with high proof spiced rum... steep for 2 days.... strain.... add syrup of 3/4 cup water and sugar). Everybody loves it. Thank you.

The recipe is interesting and the health warnings and link to a webpage are very helpful. The health effects can be serious if the advice is not followed, but this recipe appears to be very safe. I look forward to the cocktail videos coming in a few weeks.

Thank you for been honest about the bark I can't get it anyway. I use Grapefruit and lemon skins. Lime sometimes.
