This Strawberry Cream Soda is fruity, fizzy, and nostalgic. A homemade and healthier version of a classic. Naturally sweetened with homemade strawberry syrup.
In a small saucepan heat the strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture bubbles slightly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool completely.
Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
For soda, serve 1-2 ounces of syrup over ice. Fill the glass with sparkling water. Then top with a strawberry and a striped straw for funsies!
