Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation of the Syrup

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 liter of water and 200 grams of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Flavoring

    Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Add 10 ml of your chosen natural flavoring and 5 grams of citric acid to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Cool the Syrup

    Allow the syrup mixture to cool to room temperature. If desired, add a drop of food coloring at this stage and mix well.

Carbonation

  1. 4

    Carbonate the Mixture

    Using a soda maker or carbonation system, carbonate the cooled syrup according to the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, this involves adding the syrup to the carbonation chamber and injecting CO2 until desired fizziness is achieved.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Soda

    Pour the carbonated mixture into glasses over ice if desired. Enjoy your homemade soda immediately.
