Ingredients
Scale
For the Honey Mango Rose syrup:
- 2 mangos, peeled and seeded
- 2 – 4 Tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup water
- 6 large, fragrant organic red roses
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 – 3 droppers of liquid stevia … or 1/2 cup sugar
For each soda:
- Ice (to fill the glass)
- Club soda (to mostly fill the glass)
- 1 – 2 shots of Honey Mango Rose syrup
- 1 shot fat free half & half (or regular half & half … or light cream)
Instructions
- Put the syrup ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the syrup mixture is cool, strain through a strainer covered with cheesecloth. Gently push the fruit into the cheesecloth to strain out additional liquid. Save the smushed fruit for a yummy mango sauce or use it in baked goods like you use applesauce.
- To make the soda: Add ice to mostly fill a tall curvy glass. Pour club soda or other fizzy water to mostly fill the glass, then pour in a shot of the syrup. Taste and add more syrup if needed.
- Next, pour in a shot of half and half. This is where the magical moment happens. Watch the cream swirl in the soda. It’s beautiful! Then stir, taste, adjust the syrup if needed and enjoy!
