Homemade Flavored Soda

Have you ever seen those fancy $7 for four sodas in the coop with amazing flavors like lavender and lemongrass?  They were never in my budget.  Now they never will be.  Buy a case of soda water, and knock yourself out, experimenting with flavors:

Basic Recipe:
Simple Syrup
       1c sugar
     1/2c water
Bring these to a boil for a few minutes until sugar is completely dissolved.

Depending on whatever flavor you're hankering, put it in at the beginning.  Store it in a small mason jar or whatever heat-friendly container you have lying around.

Suggested flavors:
Vanilla (add 1 vanilla bean) => tastes like cream soda
Lavender (add 1T dried lavender flowers)
Rosemary Lime (add 1T lime juice and 1t dried rosemary)
Lemongrass (put 1 small stalk lemongrass)

YUM!
