Cherry Vanilla Soda
This cherry vanilla soda is an easy homemade fizzy drink that contains only 5 ingredients.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 cherries halved & pitted
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Soda water
Instructions
- Cut the cherries in half and remove the pits. Add them to a small saucepan on medium heat along with the water, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Once the mixture has been bubbling for about 5 minutes, mash the cherries (I actually used a potato masher to do this... use whatever you think will work).
- Continue simmering them on the same heat for another 10 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 15 minutes prior to straining it (use a sieve) into a jar.
- You can let it cool a bit further, or add some to a glass with ice and top it off with soda water. The syrup will keep in the fridge for about a week.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of syrup in your glass based on how sweet/strong you want the drink to be. The drink pictured has 6 teaspoons of syrup.
- This syrup tastes quite like cream soda.
