Cherry Soda
Cherry Soda
We are halfway through Ramadan Alhamdullilah. The weather has been so good this year that I have not been focusing too much on drinks. However: today after running errands all day, I got super thirsty. I wanted to make a refreshing and healthy drink that would quench my thirst. Since its cherry season and who doesn’t love cherries, what better day to prepare cherry soda. It makes for a great summer drink or even great for parties. Best part of it all is the cherry and honey aroma that fills your house afterwards!
