My wife’s favorite flavor of soda pop has always been peach. Not as common a flavor as say orange or lemon-lime, they are several companies that turn out pretty good peach soda like Filbert’s and Nehi. Even thought those are tasty brews, they still don’t have the genuine fresh peach taste that homemade soda does. Since it’s using real fruit then they are some healthy benefits to it, right? At least you will be avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup or any artificial flavors or preservatives.
Now you don’t need an fancy equipment to make your own pop. Just a pot, burner, and a bottle of carbonated water. If you have one of those Soda Streams or a more traditional soda siphon
Recipe Notes
1. Making the syrup for this soda is super easy. Three ingredients : peaches, sugar, and water. You want to choose the best peaches when in season (click here to learn more about when peaches season is). This soda is only as good as the peaches in it. Cling stone or freestone it doesn’t matter.
2. In the recipe I do not indicate how much syrup to add to your carbonated water. Everyone taste’s differs. I recommend adding a little bit at a time, then tasting until you get to the strength you like.
