However, Schweppes is sweetened with the dreaded HFCS, which I have recently begun trying to avoid as much as reasonably possible. So, is it feasible to make quinine water from natural ingredients in the home kitchen, and, if so, can it be made to taste at least as good as Schweppes? I'll be truly grateful for a recipe.

It may be worth tracking down. Fri Jun 24 14:34:18 -0700 2005 1473842 0 JK Grence (the Cosmic Jester)
