Whip up this classic strawberry and cream Italian soda for a nostalgic, café-worthy treat at home.

• 1 pint fresh strawberries - reserve a couple for garnish and then chop the rest
• 1 cup granulated sugar 
• 1 cup water 
• 1 litre soda water 
• 1 pint half and half

1. First, make the strawberry syrup by adding chopped strawberries, sugar and water into a pot and bring to a boil.
2. Then lower the temperature and cook for approximately 10 min or until the berries are fully softened.
3. Carefully strain the mixture through a sieve and set aside to cool.
4. To assemble the drink, add ice to a glass, then about ¾ cup of soda water and stir in 3-4 oz of the strawberry syrup.
5. Then a splash of half and half.
6. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberry slices. Enjoy! — the perfect moment to set your drink on our Demi Chill Side Table.
