Instructions
 

To Make the Strawberry Simple Syrup

  • Place strawberries and water in medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and let the strawberries simmer for about 20 minutes. Skim the foam which floats to the top while the strawberries are simmering.
  • After 20 minutes remove from heat and strain the strawberry liquid into another clean saucepan. Discard strawberry solids.
  • Add sugar to strawberry liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

To Make The Italian Soda

  • In a tall glass filled with ice, add 2 Tablespoons strawberry syrup, 1 cup club soda, and a splash of heavy whipping cream if desired.

Notes

We love making our own simple syrup but if you want to make these on the fly, use store-bought strawberry syrup.
When straining the strawberries make sure not to press down on the berries to release the juice. It'll cloud up your syrup.
