Recently I looked into carbonating my own water here at the

for sale at the supermarket.

The pricing for the name-brand syrups seems to be around USD 100
for 5 gallons, which corresponds to about 30 gallons of soda or
roughly USD 1.50 for 2L. It's just as expensive (or more) as buying
the already-bottled soda. Anyone have a favorite ginger syrup recipe?

Eh? I'm seeing it for about US$10 for a gallon, and $25-30 for five
gallons. Not so much "name brand" (for that, you need a contract with a
cola empire), but certainly adequate replacements. That price is
certainly credible, as I remember signing invoices for the same stuff 20
years ago and a lifetime ago, and 5-gallon boxes were about $17 ($22 for
diet) then.
