A few weeks ago, I saw a cute post over at I Am Baker. Amanda had made homemade soda for her kids and they loved it. I thought that was a great idea; especially since I love knowing exactly what the ingredients are in the foods we eat. I picked up the sparkling mineral water, but then forgot all about making the soda until yesterday.
My middle son wasn’t feeling well and he asked if I could get him some 7-up. I had exactly zero interest in going to the store. So, I was thrilled to remember that I had some sparkling water in the fridge just waiting to be used. Making this was easy and it tasted great. My kids thought it was delicious.

Put some mint and run in this, and you have my favorite "soda"–a mojito! But, um, that's probably not a good thing for the kids. 😉

Probably not for the kids, but it has potential for the adults in the house.
