Soda Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soda Base

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

  2. 2

    Add Flavor and Ingredients

    Add the natural flavoring, citric acid, and food coloring if desired. Stir gently to combine all ingredients until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Chill and Serve

    Pour the soda mixture into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. Serve over ice in glasses.

Optional Add-ins Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Fresh Fruit

    Wash and slice any fresh fruits you wish to add. This can include lemon slices or berries.

  2. 5

    Add Mint

    Rinse mint leaves under cold water and gently pat them dry. Add to the soda mixture or garnish individual servings.
