Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved to form a simple syrup.

  2. 2

    Add Flavoring

    Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat. Stir in the natural flavoring of your choice and citric acid. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled syrup with the remaining carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing the carbonation.

  4. 4

    Add Color

    If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve the desired hue and stir gently.

    Pour the prepared soft drink over the ice in each glass and serve immediately.
