Making carbonated water is a few steps: preparing the ingredients, dissolving the carbon dioxide, and adding flavor.
First, you'll need to prepare drinking water and a small piece of something called baking soda. Baking soda is available in supermarkets or pharmacies. Don't use tap water, as it may contain chemicals such as chlorine, which can affect the taste and safety of the final drink.
Next is dissolved carbon dioxide. If you have a carbonated water machine or a carbon dioxide cylinder, just use the machine to pump carbon dioxide gas into the water. If you don't have these devices, you can add a little baking soda to the water yourself, and it reacts with the water to produce carbon dioxide gas, which is also carbonated water.
Finally, add flavor. If you want carbonated water to taste better, you can add lemon juice or other fruit flavors. You can also add sweeteners such as syrup depending on your preference.
But be careful, don't add too much baking soda when adding it, otherwise it will affect the taste and health. Be careful when using carbon dioxide cylinders, and do not place them near high temperatures or fire sources to prevent accidents.
Homemade carbonated water is a simple and practical skill that not only allows you to drink refreshing carbonated drinks, but also contributes to the environment by reducing the use of plastic bottles!
