  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a homemade tarragon drink so that it tastes no different from the store? Very simple. To do this, you will need a fresh bunch of tarragon, or, as it is also called, tarragon. Take highly carbonated mineral water. Wash lemon and lime thoroughly and dry. Remove the citrus peel and grate on a fine grater. Squeeze the juice from the pulp into separate bowls.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the tarragon, dry it, remove the darkened leaves. Cut the bundle into 2-3 pieces. The more tarragon you take, the richer the finished drink will taste.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put the tarragon in the blender bowl, pour in the lime and lemon juice, pour in the zest. If you want to get a brighter green color, you can add a handful of fresh spinach.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Chop the greens with citrus into small pieces.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the resulting green mass in a saucepan, pour most of the sugar and pour clean drinking water (500 ml)

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Put the saucepan on medium heat and bring, stirring occasionally, to a boil. Your broth will get a bright green color.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    As soon as the mixture boils, remove the saucepan from the heat and leave to cool at room temperature. If you want the drink to be cold, you can additionally cool it in the refrigerator. If you want the drink to get the same color as store-bought Tarragon, add a little lime-colored food coloring.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or several layers of gauze.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Pour a little concentrated broth into a glass, dilute it with highly carbonated water and add sugar to taste. I didn't add sugar, because the tarragon broth turned out to be sweet enough. Bon appetit!

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment. Or replace sugar with honey.
