Strawberries & Cream Powder Fizz

Freeze-dried strawberry powder carries the color and flavor of ripe berries with none of the water, so it tints and flavors a glass in one spoonful. It's the trick that turns plain sparkling water into a strawberries-and-cream soda without a drop of bottled syrup.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chilled sparkling water
• 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder
• 2 tbsp warm water
• 1–2 tsp honey, to taste
• 3 tbsp coconut cream or half-and-half
• Nugget or crushed ice
• Fresh strawberries to garnish

Method

1. Stir the strawberry powder into the warm water with the honey until smooth — this blooms the color and prevents clumping.
2. Fill two glasses with ice and divide the strawberry mixture between them.
3. Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
4. Float the coconut cream over the top and garnish with a fresh strawberry.
