Here is another soda syrup recipe to accompany yesterday’s homemade ginger soda syrup. Super refreshing and light, making me crave flip flops and sunscreen. Try mixing a little of both syrups together for mango-lime-gingerlicious beach blanket bingo in a glass. Who says it’s only april?
HOMEMADE MANGO LIME SODA SYRUP
by Catie Schwalb
makes approximately 1 1/2 cups.
1 mango, peeled, and roughly chopped, save the pit
1 cup of sugar (you may decide to use much less, depending on how sweet and ripe your fruit is)
2 cups water
2 limes, juice (about 3 tablespoons) and zest
fine strainer
cheesecloth
Place mango, mango pit, sugar, water, lime juice and zest in a small pot. Bring to a gentle boil, and the turn off heat. Allow to steep and infuse for thirty minutes.
Return the mixture to a gentle boil, and reduce the syrup by about half, until it is a slightly thicker consistency. Remove from heat and allow to cool
Strain through a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth. Squeeze cheese cloth to extract any remaining juices.
Refrigerate for up to one week.
Mango Lime Soda: Mix 1 part soda syrup with 5 parts seltzer, or more or less to taste.
I love your blog and I just posted a link on my gardening blog and in my eat, grow, thrive blog on same web site. I wrote about making herbal or fruit syrups for soda stream
have a great new year!
herbally yours,

I bought my hubby a Soda Stream for Christmas and within a month, we were tired of buying syrups. I just made the mango syrup and the problem I’m having is I keep eating it by the spoonful! It’s so good, it may not make it until the evening, when my husband comes home and wants pop. WARNING: make a double batch! Yum!
