I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks good enough to shame the shelf concentration varieties. I'm the Queen of Shortcuts, and bought some pancake blueberry syrup and will add a pinch of citric acid, and a few drops of lemon juice. You can also use the frozen concentrates (Five Alive, Welch's grape juice, orange, lemon and anything else in the frozen can) and add it to selzer, whip up some blender snow and there it is! It worked!

This was excellent! We made it exactly as written and it was easy, cheap and the kids loved it! The longer you let the mix boil, the thicker it gets.

I took another reviewers advice and made a simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar) brought to a boil as directed in the recipe and added 2 packets of koolaid. The 2 packets of koolaid gave it a very funny taste. Will stick with the simple syrup and 1 packet of koolaid from now on. Perfect.

Love this recipe, but it is way too sweet! Next time I'll cut down on the sugar and make sure it's cold before I try to pour it over ice! Definitely a keeper - now I just have to find a pourable storage solution!

RASPBERRY & TRU LEMON Flavor: I HALVED the SUGAR bc I had true lemonade (flavored with stevia) & 1 cup of frozen raspberries. OMG!!! delicious! (we filtered out the fruit for some but left in the fruit for others). Dare u to try it.

A regular simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water. Doubling the sugar makes for a too sweet syrup, in my opinion. I use a regular simple syrup and then fruit juice instead of KoolAid (white-grape-peach is really tasty). It makes me feel just a tad better giving it to my kiddos, even though they're still getting sugar-water-juice!
