Signing UpStep 1: Make syrup.
The first thing you need to do is make some simple syrup. It's basically just a lot of sucrose crystals (table sugar) dissolved into water.
Put 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Put it on the stove and crank the heat up to high. Stir it up until all of the sugar is dissolved. It will look cloudy, but let the solution come to a boil and it will automagically turn clear. Once it's clear take it off the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

I do have one question on the measurments, however. I have real difficulties in converting measurements and since the Sodastream only makes quantities of water in liters, and i try to avoid the switching of containers at all cost, I had to try to convert some things. Also, I couldn't seem to find an Oz. measuring device in our kitchen so i tried to convert to cups as well. I came up with around 3/4 of a cup of the syrup for a one litter bottle of "bubbly" water. :)
If you ever get around to checking to see if I am anywhere near your original quantities, that would be awesome.
*Assuming a "splash" is about an ounce
Hope this helped!
