Grapefruit Syrup for SodaStream

Submitted by lastrohm

"My hubby is a Grapefruit fan and requested this version of syrup to replicate one of his favorite name brand sodas. This is a non-diet version, but still not overly sweet."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Yields: 3 Cups

ingredients

• 1 grapefruit
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups water

directions

1. Slice Grapefruit into 1/4 inch rounds. (Discard ends and any slices that have too much pith.).
2. Place all ingredients in a saute pan and bring to a boil.
3. Boil gently for 5 minutes, stirring intermittently. (I used a fork to make sure the fruit slices were stirred around evenly and changed them up from top to bottom a bit to ensure all were cooked into the mix thoroughly.).
4. Remove from heat and remove grapefruit slices, squeezing gently to get out most of the juice.
5. Mix 1/2 Cup of the syrup with 1 Liter of carbonated water.
6. Store remaining syrup in bottle or airtight container.
