Whisk the gum arabic powder into 3 oz of water.
Let this mixture sit for about 24h until the gum is fully dissolved. If it's not there after 24h, wait a few hours more.
Once the gum has soaked up all the water, add the remaining water and the sugar into a saucepan.
Heat up the mixture while stirring until the sugar is dissolved -no need to boil the mixture.
Now, without reducing the heat, add the gum-water-mix into your sugar syrup and fold it under until you have a smooth and nicely blended mix.
Let your Gomme syrup cool down before bottling it and storing it in the fridge. - It's good for at least five months.
