Homemade Cherry Vanilla Cream Soda

I'm one of those moms who doesn't let the girls have soda often, at least not traditional sodas.   Natural sodas are so easy to make and you can control what goes in there and how much. There aren't any preservatives and it is so delicious.

The homemade cherry vanilla cream soda is perfect for movie night. We like to order a pizza or make one from scratch. If  you try this let me know how you like it or if you have any variations you tried and liked. We are always looking for new sodas to try.
