Taco Tuesday: Italian Soda

Taco Tuesday Week #8: Italian Soda

You will need:

Club soda

Sugar

Water

Flavored extract

Half n half (optional)

1. Chill club soda

2. Make simple syrup. Combine two parts sugar to one part water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat till the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Add flavor extract to the simple syrup (to taste) like: vanilla, orange, almond, cherry, or rum. Some flavors are stronger than others, I'd start with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of extract per cup of simple syrup. Let cool.

4. Put ice in a glass, pour flavored simple syrup over ice, then add club soda, and half n half. (I add a lot of syrup because I'm a terrible person, use your own judgement)

You can buy pre-made flavored syrups at the grocery store, usually near the coffee and tea, or in the liquor section. Grenadine is yummy!!!
