Well, just in case I haven't told you I really do get impressed with the Amish.  I found this on a Amish page I was looking at.

Dissolve sugar in 1 quart hot water.

I remember as a little girl my Mom making homemade rootbeer.  But, she bought rootbeer in a bottle then added water and yum it was really great. Can't find that anymore.
