Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and carbonated water. Stir gently until the sugar is fully dissolved. Be careful not to agitate the water too much to maintain carbonation.

  2. 2

    Add the flavor syrup of your choice to the mixture. Adjust the quantity to taste for a sweeter or stronger flavor.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle in the citric acid and mix well to combine. This adds a tart flavor and enhances the overall taste of your soda.

Serving

  1. 4

    If using food coloring, add 3 drops at this stage and mix gently until the color is evenly distributed.

  2. 5

    Fill serving glasses with ice cubes if desired, then pour the soda mixture over the ice until the glass is full.

  3. 6

    Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade soda!
