Tips

Let the mixture simmer for 5 to 10 minutes so it gets thick.
When making the drink, you need one part syrup to three parts sparkling water.
Use sparkling water made with real lemon juice.
Ensure the bitters do not have red dyes.
This recipe tastes way better than Pepsi, and it has no dyes, corn syrup, or phosphoric acid (which can clean metal).
