1
Make the Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat.

Add Flavoring
Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add 1 cup of your chosen flavoring syrup (like cherry, cola, or lemon) to the mixture and stir well.
3
Chill the Mixture
Allow the syrup mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled syrup mixture with 2 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to combine.
5
Taste and Adjust
Taste the soda and adjust the sweetness or flavoring by adding more sugar or syrup if necessary. You can also add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for a citrusy twist.

Fill glasses with ice cubes if desired.
