Oleo saccharum is a sugar and orange oil mix that is often seen in tiki drinks, it is very easy to make it just takes a few days to be ready.

Ingredients

Citrus fruit of choice (Orange, grapefruit, ect.)

Sugar

Large container with an airtight lid

Method

Juice your citrus fruit and set juice aside for later, scrape out most the white pith from the inside of the rind (this can make it bitter). Once you are left with nothing but zest place it in your airtight container with 2oz of granulated white sugar for EACH piece of fruit. If your fruits are particularly large add and an extra ounce or two.

Shake the sugar and zest until evenly coated, do this 2-4 times a day for 2-3 days. After a few hours, you will start to see the sugar pulling all the aromatic oils out of the zest, this will leave you with a rich, viscose syrup perfect for adding a citrus punch to any cocktail or even just soda water for a fizzy treat.

Once a few days have passed and all the sugar is dissolved you should be left with this lovely syrup. Now all you have to do is strain the liquid out of the zest and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. If stored properly it should last for a few months in the fridge.
