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.
