A glass of homemade strawberry basil soda.

I love my SodaStream and making my own flavoured syrup is a fun little activity I like to do every so often, especially if it’s not a flavour that is sold in stores. Light and sweet, this strawberry basil combo is one of my favourites. This homemade SodaStream flavour is refreshing, flavourful, and simple. If you don’t have a SodaStream, simply use store-bought fizzy water.

Swap the fresh strawberries for frozen.
