Easy Tea Sodas

Course: Drinks & Cocktails
Keyword: Drinks, Tea
Skill: intermediate
Servings: 1

INGREDIENTS

For the Tea Syrup:
  • 1 cup herbal tea of choice, brewed according to package instructions
  • 1 cup of sugar
For the Tea Soda:
  • .5 to 1 oz tea syrup, to taste
  • 1 cup chilled carbonated water

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Tea Syrup:
  1. Stir to combine while the tea is still hot, then store in the fridge. Use within two weeks.
Note: the best way to make any syrup is by weight, so if you have a kitchen scale, use it to measure equal parts tea and sugar by weight, not volume.
For the Tea Soda:
  1. Pour the syrup into a chilled glass, and top carefully with the chilled carbonated water. No need to stir -- the syrup should self-mix as you pour the seltzer in, and stirring will reduce the carbonation.
