Sodastream!

My very thoughtful spouse gifted me a sodastream for Christmas! Anyone have homemade syrup recipes? Can't wait to fire this thing up. LOL!

That is a really great present! I was thinking of buying one for myself because I love seltzer/sparkling water and it's been good for my sobriety. I'm kind of inspired to buy myself one as a New Years gift maybe. ;-)

What a perfect gift!
I always thought elderflower syrup would be just the thing
for a decadent non-alcohol drink if I had a soda fountain.
It is commonly mixed with seltzer water in parts of Europe.

Like Summer in a glass, as it were. . .

I skip the syrup and use a teaspoon or so of lemon or lime juice in the bottle right after carbonation.

I bought an adapter on ebay so I can use my 20oz paintball CO2 tank with my sodastream. $3 to fill the tank compared to the $16 sodastream wants for using their bottles. No comparison! I use Dasani water drops or other similar sugar free water flavor drops

I love sparkling water (especially Perrier), so I'm definitely thinking of buying one of these. Thanks for the links!

Love mine! I'll use the soda water with Crystal Light lemonade or diet cranberry juice.

I love my sodastream. Ironically, I used it the most when I was drinking b/c I was so dehydrated every morning. I just cut a piece of lemon and add it, or mix the water with cranberry juice. I'm sure there are lots of way to use it!

Ok. Used it first time after a little research into the provided links. Put some raspberry zinger tea in a pan with grated ginger, lime zest and sugar in the raw. Strained, chilled and mixed. -where has this been all my life!?!? Ha ha!

A whole new realm of NA beverages to add to all my teas and coffees! Awesome.

Wow Leviathan that sounds wonderful!
I love ginger.
I thought these things were just for soda.
Sounds like you can do all kinds of really nice recipes with it- fun!
