Give me all your info on creating home made sodas. I am on a mission to make a mint soda. Perhaps a licorice-mint soda, if I can get ingredients right and flavors right.
But the problem is everything I find googling is either "how to make a cola" or "how to make a no caffeine healthy homemade soda" I don't want it to be healthy, and I don't want a cola.
Pointers would be extremely appreciated and if and when this does come to fruition, I will share my final recipe with /ck/. I promise it will not taste of toothpaste, but of a delicious sweet yet subtle candy.

Top link seems it will benefit me the most, I'll have to work out how to work the other flavors into the mix and some other things I want to get going with it though. Thanks.

Get your hands on some birch beer for inspiration. It tastes like toothpaste in a good way

>i don't want it to be healthy

What do you mean by this? Soda is inherently unhealthy because it's flavoured water and empty calories, with or without 'real' sugar. As a matter of fact, sucrose is more 'nutritious' purely from an energy standpoint and usually won't trigger GI issues like artificial sweeteners, which is why a lot of sports supplements are sugared.

I think he just doesn't want the shitty watered down non caffeinated recipes you find all over google. Obviously there isn't healthy soda, which is why it's stupid to make it taste worse just for the fake security of health.
