If you've ever enjoyed an Italian cream soda at your local coffee shop, try this recipe for a perfect one at home.

Ingredients

• A 12oz or 16oz glass

• A flavoured syrup of your choice such as hazelnut, vanilla, raspberry or orange. Try to stay away from chocolate flavour. You can try it out but it is not recommended!

• Ice

• 'Half and half'¹

• Carbonated water - you can use plain water, but it won't be as good

Method

1. Fill the glass to the top with ice.

2. Fill about 2/3 of the glass with the flavoured syrup.

3. Add the water until you have just a small space left at the top of the glass.

4. Top it off with half and half.

5. Stir and enjoy!
