Authentic home cooking from Greece, with US measurements. 
Concentrated Orange Syrup
Orange syrup without preservatives or additives, made with fresh orange juice that, when diluted with water or soda, surpasses the taste of commercial orange soda.
A few more secrets
It also makes a nice drink when mixed with vodka, ouzo, rum, etc. It keeps for up to 2 months in the fridge. If you want to keep it longer, store it in the freezer. You can make lemonade the same way using lemon juice; the only thing I add is 1 vanilla bean, which you can skip. If the syrup crystallizes after boiling, don't worry—just add the juice and stir. This recipe was given to me by a grandmother from the city.

- 1
Boil the water with the sugar and orange peels, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- 2
Let the syrup thicken like a dessert syrup (about 7-10 minutes from the time it starts boiling).
- 3
If you drop a bit of syrup on a plate, it should hold its shape.
- 4
Remove from heat, let it sit for 5 minutes, then add the juice.
- 5
Stir and let it cool completely.
- 6
Strain out the peels and pour into bottles.
- 7
Store in the fridge and enjoy a refreshing drink anytime. A good ratio is two fingers of syrup in a glass of water for a glass of juice.
