Making Soft Drinks At Home

A generic 2 liter bottle of cola.

It's been a little while since I posted a video, so thought I'd pass along this tip on how you can make your own soda or pop or whatever you call it where you live.  It's not going to be a huge money saver unless you drink a lot of pop at your household.  We happen to drink quite a bit of the stuff and I figure I save about $25-$30/month by making my own.  There are lots of flavors to choose from, but my favs are the cola & Country Time lemonade while my son likes the faux Mt. Dew and hubby likes the root beer. Now before you start preaching how bad soda pop is for a body, the syrup I purchase is sweetened partly with aspartame & has no high-fructose corn syrup, so let's not start judging.  All that and you'll be saving the landfills from all those plastic bottles.  Surely that's something to feel good about. :-D
