Effortless Cherry Vanilla Soda (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Cherry Vanilla Syrup
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
1/2 cup sugar
03 -
1/2 cup water
04 -
12 cherries, pitted and split
→ To Serve
05 -
Sparkling water
# Instructions:
01 -
Once the syrup cools off, pour a little over ice and fill up with soda water. Or just let it chill out even more so you can stash it in the fridge—it's fine for a week.
02 -
Set the pot aside and wait about 15 minutes till it's not hot. Push everything through a strainer into a jar so you get a smooth syrup.
03 -
Keep the heat going for ten more minutes after mashing so the syrup gets thicker.
04 -
After about five minutes of bubbling on the stove, squish the cherries up with a masher or a fork.
05 -
Toss halved cherries (take out the pits), sugar, vanilla, and water into a small pot and put it on the stove over medium heat.
# Notes:
01 -
You can add more or less syrup to your drink, up to you for sweetness or stronger flavor. It gives off a cream soda vibe.
