Notes
ℹ️ troubleshooting tips
- color is too light - Using a non-dairy milk may affect the coloring of this beverage, but since such a small amount of milk or cream is added, it shouldn’t affect the texture much. If you want a bolder colored soda, you can add a drop of pink or red food coloring!
- not flavorful enough - more syrup = more flavor, so you can add up to 2 ounces of syrup per drink.
⚖️ scaling tips
If you want to make a pitcher of these sodas, I recommend mixing the syrup and soda water first, shortly before serving, to maintain maximum fizziness. Simply top each beverage with milk or cream before serving.Nutrition
