Method

  1. Combine the vanilla extract, water, and sugar in a pot.
  2. Boil the mixture until it reduces to about 5 oz (150 ml) syrup.
  3. To make the finished soda, combine 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.

Notes

  • Use water from a carbonating machine or a brand of pure carbonated water such as Polar Original Sparkling Water, Great Value Seltzer Water, or Signature Select Seltzer Water. Do not use a brand of mineral water such as Perrier, San Pellegrino, or Mineragua because the added minerals will ruin the taste. Avoid flavored sparkling water such as La Croix or Spindrift because the preexisting fruit flavors will ruin the taste.
