All
non-alcoholic drinks
All
the drinks of this page are non-alcoholic (as all the recipes of
this website) and as such they can be served to everyone, including
children.
For
a better health, the recipes of the website also do not recommend
caffeine, theine or commercial soft drinks (only made with artificial
colors and flavors, preservatives and white sugar).
We
have used soda water, Ginger Ale (good quality), non-alcoholic
Bitter (good quality), and hojika
tea (without theine), but you can choose to skip them and simply
use water instead.
The
syrups mentioned in the recipes are intended as good quality syrups
(with natural extracts), preferably home-made. See for example Orange
Syrup, Lemon Syrup, Raspberry Syrup and Pomegranate Syrup in this

You
can also use good quality essential oils (food grade) and powdered
extracts, especially for White Mint, Vanilla, etc.
