We found the info online and were discussing purchasing one. Then we discovered that our area Kohls stores stocks them, so a little side trip after the CSA delivery this evening and we are now the proud owners of a SodaStream Fountain Jet, and we are LOVING it! It can produce highly carbonated fizzy water from our own rather tasty tap water and added to our own "farm-made" herb and fruit syrups, the possibilities are nearly endless. LOVE IT!
I started with a lovely Mint Lemon soda this evening and am partway through a homemade gingersnap soda. And I haven't even started thinking about the possibilities with "adult " beverages. Oh my!

WHAT? Kohls has the soda streams? I am so there. I have wanted one of these for AGES!! WANT WANT WANT!!
and your mint syrup? to. die. for.
:)
Yep, we used the Kohls on university. $99 plus tax gets you the "machine", 2 water bottles, 1 CO2 canister (makes 130 liters of fizzy water), 1 box of 12 sample soda flavors (whatever) and one set of three sparkling water flavors.
LOVE it!
Glad you're enjoying the mint syrup : )
Do you have a recipe for the mint syrup? I've got lots of mint growing...well, had. Matt mistook it for a weed and whacked it down yesterday! But it will be back before long, I'm sure.
For the herb syrups we use equal parts sugar and water for a light syrup, or 2 to 1 sugar to water. Add a bunch of herbs, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to steep for 30 minutes. Remove herbs and bottle. Can store in the fridge for several weeks, freeze for longer storage or can in a water bath canner.
Thank you, I'll give it a try!!
