I have been making home made fruit-sodas for a long time. Gingerale and rootbspeer, too. It's pretty simple to do. Atkins wife has a recipe for a low carb ginger-syrup in her cookbook. You might want to check it out. :) This is my method:

Bring these to a boil in a non-reactive pot. Let simmer for about 10 mins, let cool then strain the ginger-liquid through a cheese cloth, squeezing well. Keep in a glass jar in your refrigerator. This makes about 1 1/4 cups of syrup (10 ounces). and has about 17.5 carbs- although I feel you should deduct about 7.5 carbs because you actually throw away the ginger itself. So I consider it 10 carbs at this point. Use one ounce to 7 ounces of seltzer water and add AS to taste. With Equal an 8 ounce glass is 2 carbs.
