Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing the Sugar

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of all-natural cane sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow this syrup to cool.

  2. 2

    Preparing the Base

    In a large pitcher, combine the cooled sugar syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose too much carbonation.

  3. 3

    Adding Flavor

    Pour in 1 cup of your chosen flavoring syrup (e.g., cherry, vanilla, or cola) into the mixture. Stir gently until well combined.

Serving
