We used up all the ginger, lemon and Xylitol we had left; could definitely use more of all of those next time. Invert sugar was added in a couple batches (dissolving the sticky stuff in 1/2 liter of warm mate each time), until we reached consensus that the mix was sweet enough. Definitely far less sweet than the commercial stuff, but that's the way we like it. We'll see how that holds up once we add carbonation...
