The Soda Maker Flavor Bible: Healthy and Natural Homemade Flavor Syrup Recipes for Sodastream Carbonation Machines (Sodastream Flavor, Soda Machine (Book 1))

This book is awesome. I skimmed it, but my girl read it in one sitting. Great history, well-written, great recipes and now we make the very most of our soda machine. Recommend!

I was expecting a book that explained how to use the various sodastream, pre-mixed, "drop" products to make different types of sodas. Instead this book is full of recipes that requires sauce pans, blenders, strainers, numerous ingrediencies that are not common in your house, and hours to prepared for just a liter or two of a drink. Who has that time? I don't want to make soda like they did in 1812.As for the various sodastream drop products, the book just says to experiment to your personal taste. It provides no recipes for using these products to make a better soda. This book is a waste of time and money.

First, there was damage to the book due to a page that got clipped wrong getting folded inside. But honestly the biggest disappointment is that i got this book in hopes of 3 recipes: Coke (Cola), Dr Pepper, and Sprite, maybe a root beer soda. There is no Dr Pepper recipe, the lemon lime soda is pretty simple so thats good, but the Cola recipes that are here are 2 options: Diet Cola, or Spicy Cola. Neither are what i was hoping for and they call for cola flavor syrup. If i wanted to buy storebought syrups i wouldnt have ordered the book. Given caramel is on the ingredient list for Coke i expected there to be a caramel soda or something instead of cola or the cola recipe to have caramel in it but it literally calls for cola. Thats the biggest disappointment. I am keeping the book though, dont want to bother with returns, and maybe i can find some other soda recipe i like. The rootbeer recipe sounds good, it was a childhood favorite. Idk that i'd say celery soda, chocolate phosphate soda, or chocolate egg cream are classic sodas as theyre categorized but to each their own.

The recipes are awesome but it also laid out very well. It is easy to find what I am in the mood for and has helpful information on understanding, using, and maintaining the SodaStream.

Not sure how the extensive use of white sugar in most of these recipes can be considered healthy. Wanted healthy ways to flavour...

Not very informative.
