How to Make Cream Soda Mix For Sodastream Pop
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup turbinado sugar and 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is melted and caramelized to a light amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
- While the sugar caramelizes, juice one lemon (approximately 2 tablespoons of juice).
- If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Set aside the seeds and the bean pod.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat. Add 2 cups of water and the lemon juice to the caramelized sugar, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the vanilla bean seeds (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract) and the vanilla bean pod (if using) to the saucepan. Return the pan to medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes. Do not boil vigorously.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor).
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the lemon pulp, vanilla bean pod, and any solids. Discard the solids.
- Pour the strained syrup into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To serve, add 1-2 tablespoons of syrup to your glass, fill with carbonated water, stir, and enjoy!
