Homemade Maple Soda

Do you enjoy a refreshing ice-cold soda now and then on a hot day, but want to avoid the sugars/artificial sweeteners and a host of other non-food ingredients that are added?

You'll be happy to know I have the perfect solution for you!

This can hardly be called a recipe...it's so simple, and yet you can vary it slightly according to your taste.

Put some ice in a glass, add a tablespoon or two (or more, depending on your taste for sweetness) of maple syrup, and fill the glass with club soda/sparkling water.  That's it!!

Told ya it was easy!  You can add a splash of vanilla and/or a wedge or 2 of lemon or other fruit for added flavor if desired, but it isn't necessary.

Enjoy!
