For people who love soda – and many, many people do; soda manufacturers make enough soda for every man, woman, and child in the U.S. to drink 52 gallons of it a year – a better option is to make your own. The homemade all natural soda recipes allow you to choose how much sugar to add; it also allows you to swap out questionable ingredients for natural ones. Plus, they’re really yummy.
Some of the following soda recipes are based on making a simple syrup to add to sparkling water, while others are single-serving recipes that you can mix on the spot. They are conceived around the idea of employing a punch of flavor so that you don’t need to have the soda quite so sickeningly sweet as is typical in conventionally sweetened sodas using high fructose corn syrup. These soda recipes are also flexible to allow you to increase or decrease the level of sweetness.
