Szechuan Cherry Tonic

Szechuan Cherry Tonic

Another year, another LA Beer Week Festival and this time, we brought a "soda bar". Folks from Pacific Gravity and Strand Brewers joined us to pour a set of refreshers for the crowd.
Brewed By: Drew Beechum
Brew Date: 09/29/2012
Brew Type: Other
Beer Styles: Soda
Batch Size: 3.0 gallons
Boil Time: 20 minutes
ABV: 0.0% ABV
Malt/Grain/Sugar/Extract: 2 cups Turbinado Sugar
Extra Ingredients: 

2 TBSP Chinese Five Spice Powder

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Ginger, powdered

32 oz Trader Joe's 100% Tart Cherry Juice

Special Instructions / Notes: 

Combine sugar with 2 cups of filtered water. Bring to a boil for 10 minutes

Add the spices and whisk vigorously to incorporate - boil for another 10 minutes

Strain the syrup. It's best if you get a super fine mesh like a coffee filter. This will take a ton of time.

In a keg, add the cherry juice (careful of the sediment in the bottle), the filtered syrup and water. Shake to combine.

Chill overnight to near freezing. Hit with 30PSI and shake for 10 minutes.

Serve!
