Sugar syrup – Adjust according to your taste.
Soda water – Us unflavoured un sweetened soda for this drink. You can also add honey (not vegan) instead as a healthy alternative.

Wow, does this sound delicious. Kiwi is some of my favourite fruit, and as a child my Mother always gave them to me to sooth my mouth when it was sore. It’s a shame that in England, it’s hard to find kiwi that isn’t overripe and squidgy. Maybe this is the solution and use for my squishy kiwis!
