    Add Masala Soda

    Slowly pour in the masala soda into the pitcher with the lime mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to lose the fizz.

    Garnish with Mint

    Add a bunch of fresh mint leaves to the pitcher for added flavor and garnish. You can also muddle the mint slightly to release more aroma.
