Steps
1
Using a microplane, zest the oranges then juice them. Set the juice aside.
2
To a medium-sized bowl, add the granulated sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to massage the sugar into the zest, until the sugar is uniformly orange in color.
3
To a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the zest and sugar mixture and the juice. Heat to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally until all of the sugar has dissolved.
4
Turn off the heat and let the zest steep in the syrup for at least 20 minutes, ideally until fully cooled.
5
Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the zest. Transfer the syrup to a mason jar or other storage container.
6
To make your orange soda, add anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons of syrup to an ice-filled glass and then top off with sparkling water. Stir gently.
