Instructions

  1. Heat the sugar and the water in a saucepan until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove the syrup from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and the lemon juice. Let the syrup cool and then store in the refrigerator.
  3. Mix 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of the syrup into 8 ounces of soda water. Or, you can make a big batch of cream soda at once, using the same ratio of syrup to soda water.

Notes

  • *Recipe lightly adapted from Trisha Yearwood.
  • As written this recipe approximates the sugar content of commercial sodas, but feel free to experiment with using less. You can use honey, agave, or  the artificial sweetener of your choice, too.
