Skin Infusion

Save Achacha skins after eating the white pulp.

Crunch skins into the water and leave to infuse at least overnight, preferably longer.

Once the water is quite orange, strain off the skins and discard or compost.  This infusion can be used as a base for the Achacha Thirst Quencher, Achacha granita or a variety of cocktails.

Sugar Syrup

Bring sugar and water to a simmer for 5 minutes, leave to cool.
Keep in a jar and use as desired.

Note: There are alternatives to the sugar syrup, stevia, honey, ginger syrup, vodka, mint, mineral water, use your imagination.
