Homemade Soda Stream Flavor Syrups, A Simple Steps Brand Cookbook: 101 Delicious Flavored Sparkling Water, Soda Syrup & Soda Maker Drink Recipes, Plus Instructions & Pro Tips, from Simple Steps! Paperback – October 10, 2019

Makes fizzy water - you control the fizz. If you are particular about your brand of soda and nothing else will do, then I doubt you’ll want one of these.I find the Cola Syrups to be ok.The lemon lime is really good (how hard would generic lemon lime be). This is the syrup I use to “doctor up” with other flavors like Peach Torani. The orange essence is a nice addition to give me somewhat of a Sundrop flavor.The Fountain Mist is a decent Mt Dew analogue. I like it a lot.Daughter hated the Dr Pepper-like syrup. But that’s a case where nothing but the real thing would suffice.Not sure Sodastream saves all that much money if any at all compared to buyers by your favorites on sale at the store.However, I do think it’s more environmentally friendly. I throw away far fewer cans and plastic bottles.The SodaStream really comes into its own when you branch out to make your own creative drinks. All of the Mio/Liquid KoolAid bottles work just fine. Torani Italian Syrups are great for Italian sodas or flavoring the regular soda flavors.

We can see a real soda enthusiast in this author. I could not even believe 101 flavors of soda may actually exist in the world! But yes it does, and they are all collected in this one book.The instructions are very clear and all recipes are split into groups, such as fruit sodas, berry sodas, herb sodas, dessert sodas and so on. It's very convenient for a person who is looking for some citrus drink, for instance... So the person may go straight to the citrus soda section, and find a dozen of ideas or so. I also like there is some general information about sodastream fountain jet, history of soda making, benefits of soda and some other good information.

I read the old fashion root beer recipe and will not use it. Three of the ingredients are almost $51 on Amazon.

I think due to the age of the book, it is written before all the new sugar substitutes. Plus, the SodaStream pictured in the book is really old. Does not match the newer machines. That said, I will try to use a sugar substitute to some of the recipes and see how they taste.

There are some very interesting and unexpected flavor combinations in this book.I particularly appreciate the fact that all natural ingredients are used in the recipes.Now that I understand the principles behind making my own syrups, I have already started experimenting with my own flavors.

For the price, you get a lot of great ideas for how to make the most of your soda machine

Works well

This is a well written recipe book that packs plenty of information on SodaStream as well as lots of interesting recipes.

good product ,fast delivery

While the book mentions the healthy benefits of low sugar drinks, as a benefit of a SodaStream, most of the recipes have large amounts of sugar.Also the approach is not to flavor the soda water, but rather partially fill a glass with syrup and top up with plain soda water.Lightly flavored, unsweetened sparkling water from companies like Perrier, is popular these days, and what I was looking for, but this book goes in the opposite direction of unhealthy drinks, high calorie drinks.I would suggest instead, a squirt of lime juice concentrate in the bottle after carbonation, or just add some thinly sliced fruit.

Love the book , well written but a lot of recipes on contain ingredients you won’t have at home. This is not a beginners guide

Excellent, healthier syrups, can adjust the amount of syrup to taste, carbonation Improves the taste of our drinking water.

Great concise recipees
