Skip the 39 grams of sugar in store-bought cola and make your own with just 2 to 6 grams per serving. This 6-ingredient syrup captures that classic cola flavor using caramelized brown sugar, warm spices, and citrus peels. Mix with soda water for a refreshing drink you can customize to your perfect sweetness level. Ready in 15 minutes and stores for weeks!
Caramelize the sugar: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 cups brown sugar over low-medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until it begins to melt and darken slightly.
Add liquid: Carefully pour in 1 cup water (it will bubble vigorously). Stir until sugar dissolves completely and bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
Infuse with spices: Add 2 cinnamon sticks, citrus peels, ½ teaspoon coriander, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg. Continue simmering for 5-10 minutes until the syrup coats the back of a spoon and has reduced slightly.
Strain and store: Pour syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar, discarding solids. Let cool completely before refrigerating.
Serve: For each glass, combine 1 tablespoon syrup with ice and fill with soda water. Stir and adjust sweetness to taste.
