For Soda: Use 1/3 cup of syrup per 16 oz of carbonated or soda water. 

For Kombucha: Add 1/3 cup of syrup to a 16 oz bottle and top with kombucha. Ferment 1-2 days.

1/3 cup of mix makes approximately 3 cups of finished syrup. The recommended amount of syrup is 1/3 cup to 16 oz of carbonated water. There are about 3-4 recipes in one bag of soda mix. This would make approximately 27-36 16 oz glasses of soda. Numbers may vary based on how long the syrup is cooked down (a.k.a. how condensed the syrup ends up) and how much syrup is used per 16 oz glass as customer taste buds vary.
