Thank you MySpace. You are a wealth of crappy pictures of girls acting gangsta.

I was thinking lately about getting back to my roots and making an easy peasy homemade extract soda that anyone can do. To really make it something that anyone can do I’m also gonna do it the ghetto way. What is the ghetto way? Well it’s the same way you make prison wine. The only difference is we stop this process before it becomes prison wine. Speaking of prison wine though, would anyone be interested in me posting a write up on that? It might be fun.

Anyway, here is what you’ll need.

2 2ltr soda bottles
Root Beer Flavoring
Yeast
2 1/2 Cups Sugar
2 ltr Water

Clean and sanitize your bottles. While that is going on heat water and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Once the bottles are sanitized and clean add 2 1/2 tsp rootbeer flavoring to each bottle. Next split the sugar water mixture in half and pour half into each bottle. Top off the bottles with water, only filling to where the bottle starts to slope towards the cap. Add 1/4 tsp of yeast to each bottle, cap, agitate, and leave out for a few days. Squeeze the bottles daily to determine how carbonation is comeing along. After to or three days the bottle should be taught. Place in the refridgerator for at least another two days before consuming. Once you place it in the refridgerator the bottle needs to stay refridgerated when it’s cap is on. If the soda goes flat then leave out until bottle is taught again.

Ghetto soda should always be accompanied by crappy cell phone pictures
