  • 1 cup black raspberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons water

Black Raspberry Italian Cream Soda

  • 2-3 tablespoons black raspberry syrup (our family preferred it with 3 tablespoons, taste and adjust to your preferences)
  • crushed ice (I just throw regular ice cubes in the food processor or blender for a few seconds)
  • plain sparkling water (or club soda)
  • heavy cream (or for a lighter drink you can use half n half or even milk)

Instructions

Black Raspberry Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, mix together berries, sugar and water.

  2. Simmer until sugar has completed melted and berries have softened. Remove from heat.

  3. Blend berry mixture until completely smooth (use blender or immersion blender).

  4. Push berries through a fine mesh sieve, removing seeds. Discard seeds.

  5. Let syrup cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. (The syrup will be on the thicker side. You can add a little more water to thin it out if preferred).
