The thought about adding one to a corney has crossed my mind when seeing them in argos on one of the multiple trips over xmas

ukeden, I got your PM but have never tried fermenting anything like this, so I tried a forum search but still didn't find much.

Take a look at this thread, towards the bottom of page 1.

Biggles used 4 litres of cola and boiled it to get rid of the fizz, so if you try 4 capfuls of SodaStream concentrate (or however much their instructions tell you to use to the litre), that would seem to be a starting point.

Read the ingredients list on the concentrate bottle, if it mentions preservatives like metabisulphite or sorbate you might still need to dilute your syrup and boil it.

It all sounds a bit too close to chemical abuse to me.
