Instructions

  1. Prepare the syrup by diluting the malted barley syrup in 50 ml of lukewarm water with the spices so they infuse.
  2. Add the hop extract and lemon juice to the syrup and mix well.
  3. Slowly pour the ice-cold sparkling water over the syrup, without stirring so the bubbles stay.
  4. Taste and adjust with a little sugar if the drink is too bitter, then serve well chilled.

Variations and tips

Unsweetened version. Use a malted barley syrup with no added sugar and add cinnamon for depth.
