Ingredients

  • Ice cubes (as needed)
  • Soda water (to taste)
  • Water (1/2 cup)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Kiwi (4 ripe, peeled and chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped kiwi, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the kiwi becomes soft.
  3. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Blend the kiwi mixture until smooth.
  4. Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or measuring cup to remove any seeds, resulting in a silky kiwi syrup.
  5. To serve, fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in about 1/4 cup of the freshly made kiwi syrup.
  6. Top off the glass with soda water to your desired fizziness, stirring gently to combine the flavors.
  7. Garnish with a slice of kiwi on the rim of the glass or a sprig of fresh mint for an added touch of elegance.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavors!
