Looks great!!! Always have fun exploring in the kitchen - and thanks for the shoutout!

Use a microplane "upside down" so you're holding the lemon still with one hand and moving the microplane on top with the other hand. The zest collects on the microplane and you can actually see what part of the lemon you're removing.

I wish Andong would do a soda factory part 2. I wanna see ginger beer, root beer and dr pepper. Maybe a part 3 with mtn dew, apple soda and cactus cooler.

If it doesn't have the original ingredient of cocaine in it I'm not buying it

“They say the recipe for sprite is lemon and lime. I tried to make it at home. There’s more to it than that…” -Mitch hedberg

Phosphoric acid is an emulsifying agent used in Coke which allows the oil and water to mix together and not separate.

[Blackjack]

I'd really love to see you make some self-carbonated soda. Last year I made ginger beer from scratch and it was amazing! For that i kinda make a sourdough starter for gingerbeer, a so called Ginger Bug which was then desolved in the sirup. After botteling it, the bug "eats" the sugar and you end up with a fizzy, slightly alcoholic but really refreshing beverage. I believe this exactly the chalange for you and for this summer

I recommend boiling the zest in the fluid part (water/Juice) before adding sugar, because the more viscous the fluid, the less aroma it will take from the zest. Also, for "Sprite" you could add the juice of a lime instead of adding citric acid. It is sour enough to make the syrup stable and actually tastes great.

I love little differences between countries. I dont know where you are, but a glass bottle with a plastic screwcap _BLEW MY MIND._

Sidenote for U.S. viewers: cassia bark is what we call cinnamon. Cassia bark and true cinnamon are technically different things, but since companies are legally allowed to sell cassia bark as "cinnamon" in the states, most of the "cinnamon" we buy is actually cassia bark.

You guys have better fanta in europe! It actually contains legit orange juice, here in the US it’s all artificial orange flavor.

[TheHmanLives]

Just a quick tip: You get more juice if you put the fruit in the juicer the other way. It sounds weird, but put the cut part face down and press. You get more juice per fruit.

As a time traveleler from 2043 it's so interesting to see the humble beginnings of Andong's products. Back in your time I think nobody could have ever guessed that all the things you make actually made it onto the shelves in the supermarkets.

When you really want to extract citrus peel aroma, go for a technique called "oleo saccharum" (oil sugar). You zest the citrus as usual, then mix the zest with sugar, muddle it a bit, and let it sit for 4-24 hours, which draws out all the essential citrus oils, freeing all that aroma. This also works well with vegetable peeler-thick strips of zest for the zesting-challenged. Then you boil sirup as usual using your oilsugar. This technique was used to make Punches in ancient times, where the citrus had to stand up to copious amounts of navy strength rums and brandys used for them at the time. If you add the juice back it also makes really nice Cordials.

[Michael_Brock]

Only learnt recently, actually here on YouTube. Zest the citrus the other way. IE citrus zester on top of fruit.
Bring the zester to the fruit not the wrong method of fruit underneath/to the zester.
That way you can see which areas to zest next, and can keep fingers away from sharp bits.
The zest collects (as designed) on top. Then flip zester over then tap on pot edge to drop last bits of zest then move onto next citrus.
NB citrus meaning lime/lemon/orange etc.

[relfeaj]

Just a tip, squeeze the oranges the other way around. It's not intuitive but it's the way it is intended.

[josephlucatorto]

If you’re looking for cassia for this recipe: cinnamon sold at the grocery store is usually cassia. It comes from the plant Cinnamomum cassia. “True” cinnamon comes from Cinnamomum verum but hasn’t been common since the 1900s, in the USA at least

[marcberm]

The brown bottles were right for the purpose whether intentional or not; they automatically added color reveal to the final tasting process.

[gmxealot]

If you're zesting for these purposes, you could probably just make twists with a peeler and then chop them up finer as may be needed. You could also make old-style ginger beer or sarsaparilla and skip buying a carbonator and CO2
