- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Sprite or any lemon flavored soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Sift flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Grate the lemon zest into the flour mixture and mix well. Pour in the carbonated lemonade and lemon extract, then gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the scones light and fluffy.
- Turn out the mixture on the floured surface and bring together. Pat it down to make 1-inch thick disk. Cut into 6 wedges or use a round biscuit cutter. Place on the baking tray and brush with cream.
