I never knew I could make my own soda at home and make sure it does not have preservatives or other bad things in it!! Now with Soda Stream you can make delicious soda at home for a fraction of the price of buying it at a store. :) YAY! I am also a fan of not using tons of cans or plastic that are bad for the environment so this is a really "green" system.
Soda Stream also makes carbonated flavored water which is perfect for me because I try not to drink too much soda but adding a little flavor and fizz is great for me! :) They also carry energy drinks, teas, Crystal Light, Lemonades, diet and regular sodas.
Soda Stream is easy to use but it does take a little practice at getting the carbonation just right. Also make sure you measure the syrup out and not guess or you might ruin a batch of soda. I did a good job of measuring but I did end up tossing a couple batches because of the carbonation, one too little one too much.
I was happy to have this system right in time for the 4th of July! We had a party at our house and we made several drinks to share and everyone seemed to enjoy them.
Soda stream has lots of fun recipes right one their site and I bet some of you could create your own too.
Where can you find a Soda Stream? You can buy online or several stores such as Sears, Staples, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Wal-Mart, Kohls, and many more!
