Soda Base
Method
Preparation
Add Flavors
Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel syrup, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Cool the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Combine with Baking Soda
Once cooled, add the baking soda to the syrup mixture and stir well to combine; it will fizz slightly.
Mix with Carbonated Water
In a large pitcher, combine the syrup with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.
Serve
Pour the natural cola into glasses filled with ice and enjoy your homemade soda!
