1
Make the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
2
Add Flavoring
Once the sugar is dissolved, add 1 tsp of citric acid and 1 tsp of your chosen flavoring extract. Stir well to combine.
3
Cool the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely. You can transfer it to a jar and refrigerate it for later use.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the cooled syrup (about 1 cup) with 4 cups of carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing carbonation.
5
Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes (about 1 cup each) and pour the prepared soft drink over the ice. Serve immediately and enjoy!
