Kiwi Italian Soda

Ingredients

• Ice cubes (as needed)
• Soda water (2 cups)
• Water (1/2 cup)
• Sugar (1/2 cup)
• Kiwi (2, peeled and sliced)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the kiwi, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the kiwi is soft, about 10 minutes.
2. Remove from the heat and let cool. Once cool, blend the mixture until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds.
3. To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, pour in the kiwi syrup, and top with soda water. Stir gently to combine.
4. Garnish with a slice of kiwi, if desired, and serve immediately.
