How to Make Cherry Vanilla Cream Soda
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) of water and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar.
- Add 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture slightly thickens into a syrup.
- Remove the vanilla bean from the syrup. Rinse the bean under hot water.
- Set the vanilla bean aside to air-dry and reserve for later use (e.g., in baking).
- Allow the syrup to cool completely.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
- Add 1/2 cup (120ml) cherry juice (preferably tart cherry juice).
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of the cherry-vanilla syrup over the ice.
- Top with soda water.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately with a fun straw!
