  • 1 ea. lemon, zest removed
  • 2 ea. oranges, zest removed
  • ½ cup (120 ml) white sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • ½ ea. lemon, juiced
  • ⅛ oz (3.75 g) licorice root
  • ¼ oz (7.5 g) ginger
  • ½ oz (15 g) ginseng
  • 30 mg caffeine (optional)
  • 15 drops liquid B vitamin complex (optional)
  • 2 g taurine (optional)
  • Carbonated water, as needed

Steps

  1. Combine the lemon and orange zests with the sugar, rubbing the sugar into the peels to extract the oils. Let this mixture rest in the fridge for 24 hours to infuse.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then stir in the sugar-zest mixture, lemon juice, licorice root, ginger, and ginseng. Boil until you get a thick syrup.
  3. Strain the syrup and discard the solids. This should yield approximately 140 g (150 ml) syrup.
  4. Mix the caffeine, B vitamin complex, and taurine into the syrup.
  5. To make the final energy drink, mix 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.
