Today I am just fabulously happy. It is a little disconcerting that is takes so little to make me happy, I guess - a few pleasant chores, and an hour on the sunny deck, a cold homemade soda - Im such a simple girl. Heres the soda recipe: Simple Orange Syrup 4 heaping tablespoons orange zest 1 cup fresh-squeezed, strained orange juice 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 1. Wash, zest, and squeeze enough oranges to yield 1 cup of juice. Strain the juice and set it aside. 2. Blanch the zest in a small pan of boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain. 3. Combine the water, sugar, and orange zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Raise the heat and simmer steadily until the mixture noticeably thickens, about 15 minutes. 4. Remove the syrup from the heat and strain out the orange zest. Add the fresh juice to the syrup. 5. Allow the syrup to cool before transferring it to a container for the fridge.
