Preparation
Mixing the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of carbonated water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Adding Citric Acid
Add 1 teaspoon of food-grade citric acid to the mixture. This will enhance the tartness of your soda. Stir gently to combine.
Incorporating Flavoring Syrup
Pour in 1 cup of your chosen flavoring syrup (such as cola, lemon-lime, or root beer) into the mixture. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Optional Additions
If desired, add 2 drops of food coloring for visual appeal and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice for extra flavor. Stir gently to incorporate.
Serving
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the soda mixture for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled over ice in glasses. Enjoy your homemade soda!
