Homemade Chinotto Recipe

Second or third generation Australian - parents / grand parents / great grand parents (stretching it a bit) from Malta.... The place got the shit bombed out of it during WW2 and lots of people emigrated to Australia - She MIGHT just be able to speak some Maltese, but she has no discernable accent - aside from being Australian..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta

ALL the really fuckable women are fuckable because they are of a good disposition - cheerful, hard working and productive..... All the other retards are just endless lists of "Go Nowhere Gal" bullshit... Have you seen this? https://www.mgtow.tv/v/LVeEyS

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Malta? They got underground giants underneath them... they lost a whole school bus of kids, who ventured underground into tunnels by rope and the giants cut their rope... no escape. For six months, people screaming in pain was heard all over the island... downtown at least. They never found the cause... I say it was those kids getting eaten or cooked.

I tried some those San Pellegrino fruit sodas, I remember having one last at Pizza Express

@WMHarrison94: This like those Kandahar giants?

@silverkinguk27: Fruit Sodas? Do you mean the Chinotto drink? Or some other variety of this brand?

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: They have a lemon one, and a blood orange one.

And (I) would have topped it off with a splash of Gin! >:D

@bigintol03: And have you ever had Chinotto? I used to be a HUGE fan of Bisleri Chinotto - they were a small Italian drink company in a suburb of Melbourne Australia (Coburg) and then they sold to Coca Cola - who actually tweaked the recipie and actually did improve it... then I did a whole heap of research into how they actually make it - mostly from dried up and baked up Chinotto oranges - heavily caramelised, and all that - but when I used to live in Melbourne only the Italian pizza shops in post WW2 mostly migrant suburbs (lots of Italians and Greeks) stocked it - and fuck it was NICE with a pizza.... but Coca Cola bought them up 10 years ago.... improved the formulation - tasted noticeably better.... and because I could get a bottle or two every few weeks instead of a treat every month or three, I kind of went totally off it.... and Coca Cola stopped making it... Booo Hiss... https://www.facebook.com/Santi....noContinentalGrocery

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I've never even heard of it, sounds good though!

@bigintol03: Many companies make it - some variations of the recipe, I don't endorse pissing away large amounts of money but I do think investing in "many" small investment type things... To go and get 1 bottle of it, to try it out... etc.. Basically it's a shit orange, that gets baked until the sugars have caramelised and then it's made into a drink with other ingredients... Like all things, some people are going to go, "Wow - that is amazing!" (especially with really good pizza) and some people are going to say, "Uggghhh this is shit!"...... But it's more important to have the experience, and perhaps shared it, than to have not gotten any of it ever.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinotto_(drink) ------ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_myrtifolia ----------- https://www.drinkbriosoda.ca/ --------------- https://www.sanpellegrino.com/it/bibite/chino ------ https://sodapopcraft.com/what-is-chinotto-soda/ ------ I'd recommend going and buying a very small quantity of several varieties.... Like most things, how you take it, will depend upon your own tastes... share it with a friend or two...

@bigintol03: There has to be some one somewhere, not that far away who stocks it - either a fair amount of post WW2 italian migrant areas, and supermarkets, or Italian produce shops, or better booze based produce store..... OR can send through a few small bottles one small bottle or can of each variety - say 3 or 4 if your lucky... OR any decent ITALIAN PIZZA PARLOUR - should stock them....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: You've peaked my interest...now I'm going to be on the lookout for it!

@bigintol03: I reckon her baking the herbs and spices was wrong - because it's a HOT oven and that oxidises the oils and drives off the fragrances... but caramelising the citrus slices... that is a foregone conclusion... but it's simple enough to make... I'd do the big trays of caramelised citrus slices first and then add the herbs and spices into the blender with the fruit, and the sugar syrup, and then blend to get maximum diffusion surfaces and the fastest and strongest flavour transfer out of the ingredients and into the syrup - and then after a week in the refrigerator, I'd drain off the liquid and then squeeze out the ingredients through a clean pillow case... and then have a relatively clean and free cordial - that is very intense....

@bigintol03: Piqued my interest... not peaked...

@bigintol03: https://www.vocabulary.com › dictionary › pique Pique - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com The verb pique means to make someone angry or annoyed. But when something piques your interest or curiosity, here the verb pique just means to arouse, stimulate, or excite. Both the noun and verb are pronounced "pēk" and were borrowed from a French word meaning "a prick or irritation," from Old French piquer, "to prick."

@bigintol03: On the other hand - cooking up the herbs and spices with the orange and grape fruit, might alter them in a way that is desirable... BUT since the Chinotto orange is shitty small and sour, the blend of the sour-ish grape fruit with the orange, would tend to make it turn out more or less the same....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I noticed that after I hit send, fucking Google voice type thing, whatever you call it!

@bigintol03: The shopping list is small, someone might have some fruit trees... the DARK colour of Chinotto is from the caramellised fructose... The way the woman cooked up the fruit was to a MILD cooking - or a mostly light brown... but the commercial producers have much tighter control on the volume of fruit, the temperature and time, and it's still a big fruity and it's also getting to almost burned... Think food additive called caramel, which is burned sugar, which is added to gravy and other things to make it brown - usually called Parisan Essence... I got that banned in Australia because it was carcinogenic... That was REALLY over cooked (burned) sugar, and it smelled like the juice from cigarette butts...... So when you cook up your sliced fruit, only go to a light tanning... not blackened.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: I never knew that...thank you!

@bigintol03: I forget which country you live in, I think it was the USA, go to the supermarket and in the flavoring section find the Parisian Essence, only buy a small bottle, take it home, pour half a teaspoon into a saucer, and have a big sniff.... Awful ---- https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22p....arisian+essence%22&a https://www.lollipopcakesuppli....es.com.au/article/ho Melt 1 cup of sugar in a medium-heavy saucepan, over a low heat. Stir consistently until sugar is burnt black and smoky. Use of an exhaust fan is highly recommended.

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: You're correct, America, 20 miles South of Cleveland in Ohio!
