At 6:00 you see, that you clearly ruined. Maybe skip ALL the extra spices. Make basic real tonic first... looks like extra spices ruined it. Try adding zest after boiling. Remove from heat, put zest for 1 min and pour trough sieve. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHuClpSmkpjLmKw.html

The "extra spice " flavours comes from mixing with gin. Not from adding spice to tonic. That's why gin&tonic was invented, to give tonic nice flavours from good quality gin.

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

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.

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.

I love tonic water. sometimes I just drink it on it's own with lime, or lemon.

Thank you for starting with a warning!) Very responsible of you I am "addicted" to the espresso tonic, but currently with a war raging in my country, there is a shipment problem 🙃 No tonic for me this summer~ BUT I've got a blend for brewing tonic and I really needed a tutorial like yours to get me through the process) Hopefully it turns out delish ;)

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

I do it pretty much the same way. I use different spices for my personal taste, but I'm also using the juices from orange, lime and lemon. But I will try it this way.

Very interesting video! I like when I learn something new!

Very cool video, I would love to travel Canada then the world to see as many peoples version of a vodka ceasar I can find, maybe wings too lol, keep up the great work

Far and away my favorite tonic water is Schweppes, both for its flavor profile and for its pinpoint carbonation. Getting the carbonation right when making/mixing tonic at home would be my biggest issue.

I just made this. This is really easy and only took 1 hour from start til I gave my wife a drink. She likes it. I think It needs more cinchona as i like the classic tonic taste. I will try again.

That face.... "Its perfect!" :D

Hello glen i have struggled for 3 years to figureout a way to get clear quinine powder looks like the beverage makers use a very tiny amount of pure quinine and use bitter orange extracts to flavour the tonic water.

Agreed with earlier comments. Drop the cocktail recipes Thursday nights so we can all try them on Friday! :D

Thank you I thank you but I want to know where do you find the ingredients

you could make a high potency bark extract and give it to a pharmacy, university or Pharmacorp for a gc. the dosage of a liquid is a lot easier and safer than powder or shreds.

I have a tonic water (sunny select) which is 6 year old in my cabinet close/unopen, is it still safe to use in cocktail .

Cocktails, here we come! Cannot wait!

cool.. does it glow under black lights? I have very fond memories of midnight bowling as a teenager where they put tonic is most everything because it glows.

What was the bubbly water you added to the tonic quinine mix?

love this channel i wont lie

Quinine glows under black light. You can see how intensely quininated your tonic water is and adjust by bark infused water to tune it. I guess

Would it be possible to use a dandelion root instead of cinchona bark? Dandelion roots are extremely bitter if you have ever tried to taste them.

Does the flavour of the citrus peels come through?

Is bitter lemon available in Canada? If so you should try to make it. It has quinine

Did you add star anise in a later batch?

Clarification tablets like those used in winemaking and brewing or a few drops of pectinex might do it without affecting the flavour profile significantly. There's also bar techniques like using agar agar or gelatin, but I'm not sure if (or how much) they'd soften the profile of something like this.

Carbonated water aka seltzer water is simply water with dissolved carbon dioxide in it. Club soda is a form of unflavored carbonated water with potassium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate or sodium citrate added to replicate constituents commonly found in mineral waters. :)

those first three are functionally the same thing, but tonic water is closer to regular sodas since it's both strongly flavored and sweetened.

@Wu Me I think it's a personal taste thing, i've only mixed drinks club soda, San Peligrino, and Topo Chico and had San, Topo and Perrier straight preferring San and Topo over Perrier mainly because in the last few years it doesn't seem to be as clean tasting with it almost being a touch soapy like the bottles were washed with ivory and rinsed poorly. Club is good for mixing if you want something completely clean but with a mineral hint like scotch and soda, then San. San then Topo if drinking straight though Nash Finch (now Spartan Nash) had a nice mineral water that was bottled in italy and imported and sold under the Nash Brothers brand.

@@Paul_K_ I forgot to mention the sweetened part in my reply, glad you mentioned it.

I'm struck by the fact he didn't make like a couple of gallons. seems like a lot of work for very little liquid. Also, I disovered that quinine lowers blood sugar itself, so the added sugar is probably barely balanced, by it. I have a question, could you boil all those peels for a tremendous whole Vit C boost, by itself.

Glen, I know you've done carbonated water, but how about a club soda recipe? Im not sure how much sodium bicarb to add or other minerals....Storebought club soda to me here in the US is pretty lame. I don't drink alcohol but love a good club soda. Cheers friend!

I followed your video instructions and made some homemade Tonic Syrup. It turned out perfect, however, I have a question: I would like to make my own soda water using my Soda Stream. I will be carbonating the water in 1 quart bottles, and then add the Tonic Syrup to the bottles after carbonation, so my question is, "How much Tonic Syrup should I add to the one quart of soda water to be within safe limits?"

i'm always a safety last kind of guy so this appeals to me.
