1
Mix the Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup of carbonated water to create a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2
Add Flavoring
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the natural flavoring of your choice (vanilla, lemon, or cherry) to the syrup. Mix thoroughly.
3
Combine with Carbonated Water
Gradually pour the remaining 1.5 cups of carbonated water into the syrup mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing too much carbonation.

4
Add Coloring
If desired, add 2 drops of food coloring to the soda mixture and stir gently until the color is evenly distributed.
5
Garnish
Serve the soda in a glass over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lemon for added flavor and presentation.
