[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2277510, member: 196898"] My Dad used to make his own tonic water and soda water using a Soda Syphon dispenser. You added tap water, a couple of drops of quinine or bicarb, and screwed in a Sparklet gas cartridge. a quick shake up, and it turned the water into fizzy, Just did a quick google and it is still available but the company making it is ISI and no longer BOC. Still called Sparklets. I remember another company took this concept and 'Got busy with the Fizzy' by marketing their own dispensers and a range of flavourings and colourings to make all sorts of fizzy drinks. Called SodaStream, and I believe it is still available too. Think their additives were syrup based, so will have more sugars and carbs than soda water. But you could squeeze your own lemons and oranges fresh. You can of course make your own yoghurts and shakes, or smoothies, just invest in a blender, We get packs of berrries that we keep in the freezer and whizz up with apple juice or cider, and add cream or ice cram as a naughty bit.
