How to recreate a bubbly 1938 Depression Era orange soda
In short: This video demonstrates how to make a homemade orange crush soda pop using a recipe from 1938. You will learn the specific ratios of citrus, sugar, and citric acid required to create this refreshing Depression Era staple.
The process involves creating a concentrated syrup by combining the zest of four oranges with three pounds of white sugar, two ounces of citric acid, and two quarts of boiling water. After the mixture cools, the juice from four oranges and three lemons is added to the crock.
To serve this vintage beverage, the syrup should stand for at least 24 hours. The final drink is prepared by mixing one part orange ade with three parts water or club soda, such as the ratio of one part syrup to three parts water suggested by the recipe.
