About this recipe
Homemade gooseberry lemon soda is a refreshing, lightly tart drink with a fruity aroma and gentle bubbles. The gooseberries are briefly cooked with sugar to draw out their flavor, then combined with lemon juice and sparkling water. Chill the drink thoroughly and serve it over ice on hot days.
Ingredients
Soda
500 g gooseberries, washed and stemmed
150 g sugar
400 ml still water
2 lemons, juiced; 100 ml juice needed
800 ml well-chilled sparkling water
200 g ice cubes
Steps
Wash the gooseberries, remove the stems, and transfer the fruit to a saucepan. Add the sugar and 400 ml still water.
Heat the gooseberries over medium heat and cook for 8 minutes, stirring, until the fruit softens and partially bursts and the sugar dissolves completely.
AI-generated Strain the hot liquid through a fine sieve into a heatproof container, pressing the fruit lightly with a spoon. Cool the syrup; to speed this up, place the container in a cold water bath and stir with a clean spoon, keeping bath water out of the syrup. Then refrigerate for at least an hour, until completely cold. Allow roughly 90 minutes for the entire passive stage, including resting, cooling and refrigeration. This is a planning estimate: the base must be cold before you add sparkling water, even if it needs longer to chill.
AI-generated Pour 100 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice into the cold syrup and stir thoroughly.
Just before serving, add 800 ml well-chilled sparkling water and 200 g ice cubes. Stir gently to preserve the bubbles and serve immediately.
