Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherry Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the pitted black cherries, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Mixture

    Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the cherries soften and the mixture thickens slightly.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon Juice and Preservative

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and sodium benzoate. Allow the mixture to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Combine with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled cherry mixture with carbonated water. Stir gently to mix.

  5. 5

    Bottle the Beverage

    Transfer the mixture into glass bottles, seal tightly, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
