6. Add enough water to fill the jug to a gallon, allowing space to shake the bottle. Then screw the lid on tightly
7. Shake the jug gently so the sugar dissolved into the water completely, make sure the sugar does dissolve completely, and it won't ruin the effect the yeast has on the soda
8. Pour the mixture using the funnel into the 2-liter bottles until they are filled

10. wait for four days to six days before drinking the homemade soda
11. while you wait for the soda to develop, you can squeeze the bottle gently to determine carbonation.
If it is too firm, it means there is too much carbonation so turn the cap only a little to let the excess carbonation out
12. Refrigerate the soda and ENJOY IT!
