title: Cherry Vanilla Cola
servings: 4
ingredients:
  - fresh cherries
  - coconut sugar
  - ginger bug
  - water
instructions:
  - "**Cool the syrup** — Let the cherry syrup cool completely."
  - "**Strain the syrup** — Strain the cooled cherry syrup."
  - "**Combine the ferment** — Add the syrup and ginger bug to a fermentation-safe bottle, then top it off with water."
  - "**Ferment the cola** — Leave the bottle to ferment until it develops carbonation, about a day."
  - "**Chill before opening** — Place the bottle in the fridge for at least 24 hours before opening. This slows fermentation and helps calm the pressure inside the bottle."
