  1. Great recipe! However... Be sure not to mash up the fruit for "more flavor" like we did. It makes the syrup quite bitter!
     
  2. The nutrition information is wrong on this one. I am not sure how that is controlled but it says it is 1 serving when clearly it is 5 if each serving is 1/2 cup and there are 2.5 cups yield.
     
  3. Great recipe. It's not too sweet and the citrus flavour comes through beautifully.
     
  4. I love my soda stream, and sometimes purchase the syrup for my kids because we rarely purchase commercially made soda. This definitely tastes better than the soda stream lemon lime syrup, but doesn't quite taste like Sprite. It was pretty good overall!
