fat

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved, creating a clear syrup. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not allow the mixture to boil.

Infuse the Flavors

Once the sugar is dissolved, reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the molasses, gentian root extract, wintergreen extract, and citric acid until well combined.
Maintain a very gentle simmer (do not boil) for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.

Cool and Finish the Syrup

Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract. Adding it off the heat preserves its delicate flavor.
Allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature, which will take about 60 minutes. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a sterilized, airtight bottle or jar for storage.

Assemble and Serve

Fill a 16-ounce glass with ice cubes.
Pour 1.5 to 2 tablespoons (0.75 - 1 oz) of the Moxie syrup over the ice. Adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness and bitterness.
Slowly top the glass with about 12 ounces of chilled carbonated water.
Gently stir to combine, serve immediately, and enjoy the unique taste of homemade Moxie.
