People first learned about soda in the mid-19th century. Even then, people appreciated these fizzy drinks and drank water to quench their thirst. Surely, each of you drank sparkling water. There are a huge number of its varieties on the modern soft drink market. How about making soda at home?

Carbonated drinks


It’s very simple, you just need a glass of purified water and a few quite common ingredients to form gases. In Soviet times, a drink called soda was prepared according to this recipe. Ingredients were poured into water dispensers. And it turned out to be a wonderful thirst-quenching drink.
To make soda at home you don't need to spend much. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and extinguish it. To do this, use a slice of lemon or regular citric acid.



Everything else is very simple. Pour half a teaspoon of citric acid, a teaspoon of soda into a glass, and for those who like sweets, add a teaspoon of sugar or fruit syrup. Fill the resulting mixture with clean water, voila the soda is ready. The traditional name is soda. If you use a slice of lemon instead of citric acid, you get lemonade.



This carbonated water in moderation will not cause any harm. And for those who suffer from heartburn, it will definitely help get rid of unpleasant sensations.



This is the basis of the recipe, if you get a little creative you can come up with many different variations on the theme. Add spices or caramelized sugar to get a cola flavor. Juices and syrups, in general, everything your heart desires. In fact, this is what soda manufacturers do.



Drink sparkling water and be healthy.

      Gives strength and vigor. It’s not for nothing that energy drinks contain sodium citrate - lemon.kis. + soda.

    Yes, quite an old way. By the way, instead of citric acid, you can take lemon juice, it will be both tastier and healthier. :winked:

    This is all correct, but first you need to make a water “pop”. Then add syrup, jam or salted tomato paste (as you like), then it won’t spill over the edges.

    Soda is quenched with acid and instead carbon dioxide (CO2) is obtained, which is mixed with water and the result is soda.
