Invite friends and their children round for Tristan Stephenson's homemade cola drink using lively citric zest, spices, vanilla and lavender

Citrus cola

Method

1. Pour the hot water into a large saucepan and add all the ingredients except the sugar and soda water. Bring to the boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes.

2. Filter the infused water through a tea towel or muslin cloth, then pour back into the saucepan. Add the sugar while still hot and stir until dissolved.

3. Pour the syrup into a large jug and add the soda water - you will need 200ml of soda water for every 50ml of syrup. Stir together well, then serve over ice in tumblers.
