So try something new, you’d never know what flavour combo you will fall in love with next until you’ve tried it! Next, add the sodaĭid you make this?Tag me on Instagram! I love seeing what you’ve made! Tag me on Instagram at or leave me a comment & rating below. You can even leave out the spices/herbs for a more regular fruit syrup if you prefer, but where’s the fun in that? 🙂 And don’t limit yourself to obvious flavour combinations either. You can add more sugar to make it more syrupy, more fruit to make it more concentrated. I decided to enhance the sour, citrus flavour with lemongrass! It adds a delicious warmth to the syrup.Īnd like I said, these are extremely flexible recipes. I love adding it to Vodka, tequila or just mix it with some ice and water. Lime and Lemongrass Syrup – Lime syrup is nothing new and it’s something I LOVE having at home because it makes for a perfect addition to any kind of drink. I wanted to pair this with Star Anise which in turn imparts a wonderful licorice fragrance and flavour, that you can make as subtle or as strong as you like (I preferred it a little subtle). Pineapple and Star Anise Syrup – Pineapple has such a unique, tropical flavour! It can be deliciously sweet and tart at the same time – something only a very few fruits can achieve. Strawberry and Rose Syrup – The sweet strawberry flavours and the floral sweetness of rose water make for a refreshing drink that’s beautifully bright in both colour and flavour! Perfect even as an ice cream topping! (trust me, we’ve tried it, it’s fantastic!). Peaches and Thyme Syrup – A sweet fruity syrup with the earthiness of thyme! A slightly thicker syrup because of the peach nectar. Grapefruit and Sage Syrup – A beautiful citrus syrup with the sweet and sour notes of grapefruit and the fresh sourness of sage work together to make a really beautiful, smooth syrup – this is my favourite of all 5 I made!

Without further ado, here are the 5 different flavours/recipes that I put together! 5 easy and refreshing soda recipes! It’s a totally different story with these homemade fruit soda syrups though! After all, they are not loaded with artificial chemicals, dyes and sweeteners and the best thing about a simple recipe like this is that, you can experiment all you want, with whatever combination of fruit flavours you like! All you need are homemade fruit syrups and club soda and just like that, you’re spoiled for choice! PLUS, with a few labels (like I’ve done in the pictures above), you could turn these into wonderful gifts too! First, add the syrup As a result, my soda consumption has become very limited over the years and apart from a couple of sips on a hot day, I don’t drink it much at all (although I do love to cook with Coke). I stopped drinking Coke on a dare in 1997 and went about a decade without drinking it again. Fanta was my favourite, and just one small bottle made me hyper like a cat on catnip. Growing up, I was one of those kids that couldn’t handle too much soda.
