I’m a plain jane when it comes to my beverage of choice – water. That’s right. I will pass up a tall glass of ice tea on a warm day for a chilled bottle of water. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a sweet treat every now and then.

Recently, I’ve been craving something sweet to cap off the last days of summer and quickly fell in love with this homemade fruit soda. It’s simple to make, refined sugar-free, and a fun alternative to traditional soda. Bonus: the recipe is flexible and you can experiment with your favorite flavor combinations!
