🇬🇷Two questions, two answers
Both drinks are built on a simple sugar syrup, but they take very different paths from there. Mürver Şerbeti is an infusion: elderflower heads and thinly pared lemon peel steep in the hot syrup for one to two days, yielding a delicate, floral drink in which the lemon peel and a little lemon juice add a gentle tang. Greek orangeade instead relies on freshly squeezed orange juice and finely grated orange zest stirred into cooled syrup, giving a fruitier, bolder citrus character, with lemon juice serving only as an optional brightening touch.
