METHOD

You'll get the citrusy notes of the orange, the sweetness of the syrup, and the subtle anise/licorice flavor from the fennel. It tastes just as good as it sounds - not too sweet, and it's good for you! Give this refreshing combo a try.

To Make

For the Fennel Syrup:

🥬 Combine the sugar, 1 tbsp of fresh orange juice, 3 tbsp of water, and the fennel seeds in a small saucepan.

🥬 Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. (If it begins to boil, reduce the heat). Let it steep for 30 to 40 minutes.

🥬 Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a cup, discard the solids.

🥬 Refrigerate until cool.

In your Spärkel bottle, add:

🍊2 tbsp of the Fennel Syrup, 2 tbsp of fresh orange juice, and cold water until you reach the first fill line.

🍊Choose your preferred carbonation level and Spärkel! We recommend level 3 or 4.

🍊In a glass, add ice and pour the Spärkel water. Garnish with a slice of orange and enjoy!
