  • Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer until the mixture is reduced by half. (To intensify the flavor, you can add a dash of an appropriately flavored extract.)
  • Store the finished syrup in a squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for instant access.
  • To make homemade soda, simply add a desired amount of syrup to a glass of ice and top off with seltzer water or club soda.
