How to make Sprite - lemon lime soda from scratch
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Let’s make some sprite! This lemon-lime soda couldn’t be any easier, and the result tasted very very close to the stuff you can buy off the shelves, although maybe a little fresher. It doesn’t need to require any complicated ingredients, just some time to make what is known as an oleo sacrum which is the key to getting a drink that tastes less like lemonade, and more like, well Sprite.
Sprite is flavored from a mixture of lemon and lime. I always had figured it could be made by just mixing the juice of lemon and lime with soda water and sugar, but the resulting drink would be way too sour, and not have that overarching deeper citrus flavor. So today we are going to use a method to extract the oils from the rinds of the citrus, resulting in a more mellow, deeper citrus flavor.

Thank you so much for just starting this video with a straightforward "Alright let's make some Sprite" at the very beginning and getting right into it!!!!! Made me so happy to not hear a drawn-out intro about what Sprite is!

Just a thought you could add the peels sugar and water into a vacuum sealed bad and sous vide cook at 60° Celsius for 2 hours to speed up the process then strain through a cheesecloth to speed up the process as well as using clerified juice in the end product. Love this recipe.

I use the oleo method when I sell fresh squeezed lemonade. Granted, my lemons and sugar don't sit in the cup that long, after 10 or 15 minutes, the sugar does excrete liquid and oil from the smashed lemons. This results in a MORE flavorful lemonade and I don't have to shake the cups that much to dissolve the sugar.
I appreciate the Flavor-Aid homage in the channel logo
Oleo saccharum is great for just lemonade. Everybody should look up Chef John's lemonade recipie

Muddling the peels and sugar helps the oleo to form faster. I usually let mine sit for a day at room temp so that most of the sugar dissolves

Is it possible to store oleo saccharum at fridge/freezer and still keep it fresh? If yes, for how long?
I make lime sorbet pretty often, and I wonder how it would taste if instead of using the zest directly, I made and used oleo saccharum? Are there any benefits to using oleo saccharum over zest, if the zest itself isn't undesirable to leave in the final product?

I can come close using more lime than lemon, plus the rinds and using my Soda Stream. I use a blender that liquifies the mixture and adjust tp taste for a close 7 UP
I once did this to get lemon scent in my beverage without acidity. It was kinda fun, but now i just buy lemon extract. Nielsen massey has really good lemon extract. It has alcohol in it tho. There's also lemon paste, which doesn't contain alcohol, but haven't tried.
Who’s watching this while drinking sprite?
I came to this video because I was looking at the ingredients in a Sprite can a couple days ago and wondering that it surprisingly didn't look too bad, besides the excess sugar, and that you could probably make a healthier version of it at home without much problems. Now that explains it, most of the lime taste comes from a concentrate of the only toxic part of the fruit, the peel. Which is there to protect it from smaller prey, not to be eaten.
FLAVOOOOOOR LAAAAAAAB YEAH BOIIIII
I used think limes were unripe lemons when I was little 😅😅
would i be able to adapt the recipe to make a strawberry mojito also used the original recipe and it was good
could you use a sugar replacement for this instead, xylitol for example?

You can freeze the syrup and it will last forever. To make it a syrup, simply add a little water to the final product and then freeze it. Also, it will last longer than 10 days. It is sugar and acid, both are preservatives.

You can just boil the lime and lemon peals and add sugar later, you get MUCH more syrup, but than again, that will be a syrup and not an Oil

Or use a pinch of baking soda, and water. Add the baking soda first.. the acids from the fruit activate it, when you add water, it turns it into natural soda water.
