- Ingredients:
2L water
650g sugar
100g lactose
5g cacao nibs
1g (¼ tsp) citric acid
Pinch of salt

Method:
Heat the water until almost boiling.

What I mostly like with this channel is the personality that Glen brings. It feels as though you're a guest in his kitchen, and him being a food excentric he's very eager to talk to you about food, in a way that's not annoying or pretentious. I can't really say what makes it so great with only a few words. He just seems genuinely inspired and passionate. He doesn't claim to be an expert, he critiques his own food creations each time. He's humanly imperfect and it's just plesant to watch. My favorite is at the end of each video where he does the final taste, you can really see the passion in his eyes as he goes for the last judgement, his concentration when he's analyzing the flavour according to his expectations. The show feels very organic, please never commercialize it, keep doing you Glen.
Thanks Axel - that means a lot to me.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking I don't expect you to get this, but in order to make your coke recipe better. Use cinnamon, lemon juice (zest and peel included, strain to make sure no zest is in the final product.) Also use the zest of a lime and orange. Taste test and smell your coke and you'll see what I mean!
The passion in the final taste moment that sold me on this channel was the processed cheese video. The joy was so pure it reminded me of why i love cooking.
Glen and Julie both are just wonderful. So down to earth, despite having half a million subscribers. I've said it before but worthy of saying again, I want friends just like them! Love this channel so much ❤️
what kind of jug was it that you used to put the strained solution in to strain the cocoa nibs, I wish to purchase something of the sort.@@GlenAndFriendsCooking
“Welcome friends” is such a great intro, so peaceful.
Certainly is
I have a hunch he got it from his trip to India. Using friends as an address is common there.
Glen: Starts pouring vanilla
Me (eyes widening): That's a lot of vanilla!
Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla"
Me: :O
@Barry Lab it wasn't add more vanilla but to add more concentrate to the syrup carbonated water mix.
I said "holy shit" and he knew it!
He's got ESP--into the future!
lmfao
same exact thing just happened to me lol
I've been tryna lose weight all year. Now I know I just need to drink hot water and vanilla to lose all my flab-anoids. Thanks Glen!
dieting is important but so is exercise. pushing yourself to do more and more each day or work out will rush you with endorphins, you’ll feel like a new person and cut the weight.

Have you tried a keto diet? Basically you totally cut sugar and carbs, and that trains your body to use fat as an energy source. It turns the fat into ketones and you use that for metabolism instead of glucose.
@@matthewfiedler4739 imagine wooooshing when someone states facts
I’m already Sans Undertale there was more to the thread lmao but they deleted it this was over a year ago but I don’t remember it but ik there was more lmao
Me thinking to self: "Oh wow that's a lot of vanilla"
Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla"
Me thinking to self: "How did he do that? Can he hear me thinking this now? What is life? Vanilla amount seems more reasonable now"
I also got a little bit freaked out at that. I legitimately said out loud: "A bit much, no?" And then he said that.
I counted while he was pouring...an 8th...a 4th...A THIRD....HALF?!?!?
haha same here
Same
brent thorne same here😂😂
"Oh cool, he made a good cream soda, I'll try to make some"
*Glen puts $25 worth of vanilla in*
"ORANGEADE IT IS"
I made his grapefruit soda and that one came out great.
Haha I thought the same thing
He did say that artificial vanilla, which is cheap, tastes almost the same
Watch the Coca cola video, he was using oil that was $480 for 5ml! Vanilla is cheap AF compared!
Can you use less water or reduce it on the stove without losing flavour? So that thete is more soda water per concentrate?
I love how passionate and knowledgeable this guy is. It's always great when you see someone share their passion
my mother always used to say that everything that has sugar in it, should have a little bit of salt too. ive found it to be very very true in all my cooking
I've been recently watching your videos and have really enjoyed the beverage videos. I'd love to see you make some more sodas, possibly root beer next?
Root beer is coming!
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Can hardly wait!!!🤩
Very nice! Thanks Glen!
I want to see an energy drink lol think it would be cool
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Orange soda as well!!! I think that would be super neat to figure out over the course of a few videos!!
Hey Glenn, can you try making energy drink? And if you want, try making it healthier than the usual energy drink.
That would be so interesting!
Just search up greaterade on RUclips
@@MrChoklad take it easy on that stuff, i ended up in the ER drinking that garbage. if you have a proper diet you wont need any extra 'energy'
@@MrChoklad heart complications I want to assume
Why? It’s sugar water, salt, gross flavouring and caffeine source + gimmicky ingredients that don’t really seem to do anything like taurine.
In order for an energy drink to actually work; beyond just the effects of caffeine; you’d have to be depleting your carbs rapidly doing some kind of exercise.
I like to make my cream soda with a wee bit of almond extract for an amaretto flavored cream soda.
My wife loves those orange cream push-up ice cream pops and a splash of orange extract in the cream soda, works great to match the ice cream pops.
A sweetened Vanilla & Orange extract syrup mixed with Chilled Kefir or when making frozen yogurt is like the push-pops with a hint of lactic acid zip.
Hi Glen, I love your videos. I am sick today and there is nothing better than getting to watch all your videos while I recover.
I made your loaf bread recipe a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. I also enjoy the old-time recipes!
Brilliant! I grew up with that tan-ish colored cream soda (upstate NY for reference. And I also consider carbonated beverages Pop).
There where no cream Soda in my youth in germany (Born 1970). But it is nice to see different drinks / things from other countrys. Thx for sharing
“Yeah, I hear ya. That is a lot of vanilla” lol. I’m sure it smells amazing!
Amazing. I doubled the ingredients and left the amount of water the same so it would just be more concentrated. I’m drinking it now and it’s amazing. It’s really difficult to get cream soda in the U.K. with sugar in. This is better than I can buy
My 5 year old: "Thats a lot of vanilla"
Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla"
My 5 year old all wide eyed "How did he know what I was thinking?"
I Love the honesty on this channel. If its spot on we will know.If not we will know
I'm from Quebec and my girlfriend is from Ontario. Imagine my surprise when I first visited her and I cracked open a crush can and out came PINK cream soda. I was sure they made a mistake and accidently put strawberry soda in there but my gf thought I was insane. An argument then ensued over the colour of crush cream soda. Years later we still argue about the REAL colour. She says pink, I say clear!
After doing some research I read that Crush marketed it that way in Ontario (and later on in western Canada) because they added grenadine to appeal to that market. I always thought they tasted exactly the same but I would have to do a side by side taste comparison
That's ok, I'm from the states and we would never have pink cream soda, someone would think it was cherry (or other red fruit)
@@Amanda-kw1vi I’ve actually seen pink cream soda here in the states before. I didn’t think much of it. Growing up, cream soda was always marketed in pink cans too, so it didn’t seem weird to me.
I can’t remember the brands now (sorry) but I’m from the Pacific NW and I remember a couple different brands using blue as their cream soda color! Cheers everyone. Great channel and a great comments section.
After learning to make lactose ginger beer, I made a lactose beer with dandelion root and it's flavour and taste reminded me of cream soda.
Been waiting for this what seem a like ages. Love the way this channel is blowing up. Can't wait to see what's on the horizon!!
Omg! “Red pop” from the pop shop. My favourite from when I was 5. I just found this channel yesterday & love it! ♥️🇨🇦
Getting addicted to this channel man! I'm from a tiny island called Malta in Europe. Can you make any of our traditional food which you will be keen on doing? Keep up the good work!
I second this, never been to Malta...don't even know what you guys do, but I am interested now. Any specific suggestions someone who has no clue about Maltese food could look into?
@@liftordietrying We have a lot of traditional food such as the maltese pastizzi (ricotta pastry) and the maltese bread. (tuna, calipers, bit of sun dried tomatoes) We love our food to be honest.. we have a lot of traditional sweets and pastries too.. tbh the list is so loooong. My favourite would be the maltese rabbit which can be cooked by itself in garlic or can be turned into a stew.
I had a teacher who's last name was Malta :)
@@liftordietrying Malta is beautiful 😻 🇲🇹 I’d buy a house there any day
I'm from Ontario and the gold standard for cream soda used to be the clear wishing well brand. I loved that stuff!!
We have the red cream soda in St Louis,Missouri as well. I believe the red color originally came from the addition of grenadine syrup.
I live in Utah (moved here almost 10 years ago after 15 years in California), and I discovered red cream soda when I moved here. I always wondered what it was.
Cream Soda here in South Africa is bright green. Really enjoying your channel. Kind regards and please keep safe.
Love the duo at the end and it's always so relaxing and good quality of each of your videos :) Keep it up!!!
Love cream soda. I grew up drinking "Red cream soda" which also has a small hint of lemon and orange oils in it. Gives it a bubble gum/cotton candy smell and a really cool taste. Nice video
Like the way you think. When I am trying new stuff, I make one bottle of the final product. You make 5 liter jug of syrup.
Thanks Glen! Definitely going to try this recipe. So interesting about the red cream soda. Growing up in South Africa I only knew it as green. Only later did we get other brands producing clear, more 'old fashioned' tasting cream soda.
OF COURSE I MADE THIS!
It came out great but to me is was missing a flavor note. My paramour likes cream soda a little sweeter too. I added 20g brown sugar at the end and that added a caramel flavor along with a little more sweetness. That was perfect for our tastes.The ONLY downside is that I have had more soda in one evening than I usually drink in a month - ha ha!
For the record; it comes out a lot lighter in color when you use a good Madagascar vanilla.
Thanks so much!
Glad you liked it! Also very glad that you changed it suit your taste, that's what cooking is all about.
Man, this show is just interesting to watch as an Ontarioan. Every other show I watch is made in the US so I never expect any objects or ingredients or brands that's I recognize (other than obvious ones like subway or mcdonalds of course). But this always has all sorts of things I've eaten/drank, seen, or heard about here, it's actually quite comforting and feels like I'm actually there. I guess since the vast majority of content is either US made or Canadian, but targets Americans (by using imperial or USD) so I never expect it. Love this show!
I live in CT in the US and Cream soda is always caramel colored. We used to have Pop Shoppe here and they used the same color. I'd guess it is regional and they match to the region where they are selling.
Thomas Flynn Pink mostly up North, occasionally blue, and more recently the caramel colour from the boutique brands.
See I live in the UK and i've always known it to be bright green or clear
I'd have to assume the carmel color is the natural color. Bright green and pink don't seem a natural fit lol.
@@thomasflynn5366 nahhhh i mean whats more natural that neon green or pink?
@@rclexar1 Do we get it in the UK?
Growing up in Mississauga n the 80's I drank pop shop cream soda, grape and root beer all the time we would order the case and they use to deliver to our house.
the poop emoji is a dollop of whipped cream lol.
It's feces!
If that makes you feel better...
As a kid I know we had clear sometimes, but I had kind of forgotten about it in favour of pink (more bubblegum pink than red like the stuff you had there). I was so surprised when I moved to Quebec to see clear Cream Soda everywhere! It unlocked those deep memories
All the cream soda I've ever had in the US has been that color. Ive never even heard of red cream soda
@@48Boxer I'll look for it. I would love to try it.
My son used to love a red creme sold in Texas under the name Red Rattler. I always thought the red cremes had a "bubble gum" leaning flavor as opposed to the pure vanilla of an amber-colored creme soda.
What I remember most about my trip to Canada when I was 8 was the red creme soda. Yum.
Cream soda color looks like Schweppes Cream Soda we have in Hong Kong.
@the old timer No?
The layers when he poured the vanilla inside of the jar it's satisfying to watch
I hope to one day have a similar dynamic to you and your wife. I'm quite young but I think the dynamic between u two is so heartwarming
I absolutely LOVE cream soda great video 🙏❤
Excelent video, I wonder if it's possible to get the creamy texture without the lactose o.O
Cream soda my favorite. Nice job. I can see that’s a labor of love. White Rock Soda
What if you mix less hot water in the syrup mix and make it more concentrated before then adding carbonated water?
Definitely could.
This was going to be my suggestion. A standard simple syrup is equal parts water to sugar, and I've done what I call "super simple syrup" with 1 part water to 1.5 parts sugar, though that definitely requires heating the whole mixture on the stove to convince the sugar to absorb at that concentration.
I wish I was your neighbor. 😊👍Thanks for sharing.
I want to see Passiona done by you! I'm an American but I've heard wonderful things about this soda and we can't get it here from Australia but by the import route. Passiona!
Passiona and Passito are amazing, I grew up with both and really miss them a lot so a recipe for these would be fantastic.
remember Sushine Pine it was in a black can in Australia
Finally! The 2nd version of the Cream Soda experiment. I made it according to your recipe and it was the best cream soda I ever had!!!
Also, I made a 2nd batch and this time I added a bit of almond extract and it made the taste of the cream Soda taste as it came from God himself!!!
My heart missed a beat with the vanilla… wow. hahahahah
It's really cool seeing different versions of soft drinks from other countries. Over here in Australia, as far as I know, all cream soda is raspberry flavoured.
I wonder if a little coconut flavor would be a good variation on cream soda
Sounds good
Cream soda with a hint of coconut sounds bloody amazing!
That does sound good. Those are well matched flavors.
Yes, but you must name it something else or else the world will implode
@@robertpryor7225 Coconut Cream Soda.
I was used to dark beige. Boylans, Virgils, and Northern Cream Soda are my go-to ones these days.
I agree with the last comment a root beer recipe would be amazing! Its hard to find and expensive in the uk but i love it
Working on it!
dunno if you're still active on RUclips but Aldi has some chemical muck that resembles root-beer on at the moment 😎👍🏻
@@LeClaw gotta be the good sugary stuff! Tecos have started stocking some nice ones
@@benbubear8046 ahhh nah this is sugar free (which is good because I can't touch the sugary stuff sadly)
@@LeClaw is it any good?
Thanks for this video! I own SilverFox Distillery in Arthur, Ontario and this is exactly what I’m looking for to do my next Liqueur! Simply fantastic.
i came after exo released their song cream soda
Same 😂😂
This is definitely my favorite channel of all. Love the beverage videos here. I swear I'll try to make myself those one day.
Glen you're amazing
We had a POP SHOPPE in our town, USA State of Iowa. In I’m going to say the mid 80’s they had dozens and dozens of flavors....seeing that bottle brought back some great memories !
What are you using for the carbonated water? I'd love to have a nice dispenser like that in my kitchen!
Also I have *never* seen red cream soda before--crazy! :o
cuts right away to the chase. i love it.
thanks for the vid!
You made it!
After almost 50 years, I have re-discovered Black Cherry Wishniak, which was a Philadelphia Frank's Beverage favorite. Canada Dry makes an exact tasting replica and it's cheap ! My local Walmart stocks the large 2L bottles for under $2. This is a flavor you'll never forget.
At first I thought the citric acid was salt, then got disappointed it wasn’t because salt seems like the obvious choice to enhance those flavors. Then you grabbed the actual salt and I got excited again. Lol
Just tried this recipe! It is the best one yet! Had to use artificial vanilla to cut cost but it tastes just as good!
I always assumed it was a dollop of cream on the pop shoppe bottle.
I love your can of maple syrup in the cupboard, just left on display during the tasting sequence.
Replace the cocoa nibs with rosewater and use pure vanillin rather than extract with a dash of green food colouring for the Pakistani/ South African version of Cream Soda. Why do SA and Pakistan both have green rosewater cream soda? Who knows? Just enjoy it.
Seeing the bottle from The Pop Shoppe brings back memories of being a kid in Toronto years back. I didn't realise they are still producing.
Electric pink? That's about as red as red gets.
True. I thought they were talking about the Crush brand that actually is electric pink. I think the pink versions have a hint of raspberry or strawberry flavor in them, very very little it's hard to notice but i could be wrong.
@@SweetTooth8989 Ever heard of Big Red? It's just Cream Soda with a hint of Cherry.
@@soybasedjeremy3653 Yes I'm pretty sure I've heard of it, but is that an American brand because I've never seen that one in Canada, at least where I live.
@@soybasedjeremy3653 Oh ok, I have heard of it though.
As an American l have NEVER seen pink or red cream soda???!!! It has always been a variation of light and dark brown!
Great video
That first bowl wasn’t fully empty. You should go back
Really looking forward to seeing you do ROOT BEER! There are so many kinds! Creamy, bite-y, and in-between-y!
your thumbails remind me of the fight club poster
Love the vids.. of couse the mixologist in me is always looking at how to use the syrups you make in adult bevs.. and this creeam soda syrup whoa the wheels are spinning thanks for always being inspiring.
HELL YES Brother
Here in Michigan I grew up with Faygo brand cream soda which is clear like the Jones. Also I find the "Red cream" sodas to be a totally different profile than the clear/tan versions.
Wait what? Red cream soda?? Huh I think of the light golden color when I think of cream soda
Google "Crush Cream Soda". For a long time it was probably the most common brand of the stuff in Canada.
The colour always put me off a bit, to be honest.
@@josiahgibson6373 Same. I won't touch Crush cream soda as an adult, but I do like their fruit ones every so often.
wow i love this channel, as a fellow torontonian this channel feels so homey and familiar, glad i found you guys
Lmao you said "mouthfeel".
I'm not sure why I enjoy this content so much
A possible cause for the perceived lack of carbonation might be the salt. The two don't play nice together.
Great videos as always. Thank you
POP SHOPPE POP! I haven't seen that in ages. Ramblin Rod comes to mind when he would say his tongue twister.
This is the second video I have watched of yours and I conspicuously noticed the Pop Shop. Then I connected the Canadian t-shirt. Only a Canadian would have more nostalgia for Pop Shop than a Utahn!
I’m so glad I found this channel, this is incredibly entertaining
I'd love to see a video about your carbonation system--how it works, what you learned in putting it together, why you made the choices you did, and how you'd improve it. I love carbonated water and would love to have it available "on tap" in my home. So much better than a Soda Stream!
We'll be doing a video soon on our setup.
I love how his wife discreetly shows with her body language when she doesn't like something. It's great to have a constant critic and supporter as s partner to grow together. She's not someone who'll just say "it's amazing" to anything you put in front of her.
this is such a wholesome channel
Ah, the soda bottles gave me the best nostalgia kick. As a kid I’d go to Target with my pennies and by the blue raspberry Jone’s soda in the bottle
From the looks, it could probably use a little more of your potion. Looks great... bet it taste great! Love your channel. Keep up the good work & keep them videos coming👍🏼
What is a good substitute for lactose?
When I visited my cousin in Ottawa, in the 60's, I drank Pure Spring Swiss cream soda, it wasn't electric pink. Ah, memories.
i like this channel. its genuine.
Nice Jersey! From Boston.
Really enjoyed this video. In South Africa our cream soda is bright green :)
Wtff
I loved the one handed pour into the sieve, I would have never managed that one
You guys are super at making these videos! As we say in Denmark. Its "Hyggeligt" to watch you cook.
I am just speculating that cream soda was used to make strawberry ice cream soda, hence, the bright red colour of certain brands to mimic this use. I would also think that your take on this beverage's colour, a shade of amber is its original incarnation. As a child, my first bottle of cream soda was red and was produced by Wishing Well. Later in life, I had a chance to experience the amber variety which turned out to be a superior tasting product.
So..you basically make the syrup and add soda water?...also..i love cream soda if you get the chance try WBC vanilla cream soda..its freaking amazing.
In Scranton Pennsylvania, we had Crystal Soda Water company. They bottled cola, ginger ale, orange, Swiss creme, birchola, sasparilla, and Cherokee red. They were sharp and clean beyond anything made these days. I wish I could find their recipes.
