Brooks has been whipping up the yummiest homemade soda lately — truly so good. We always joke that “Brooks cooks,” and honestly… he just has this natural talent in the kitchen like no one else. It’s the cutest thing. It helps my acid reflux after drinking too much coffee. Have you tried this fizzy drink?
Why the order matters
The fizzing happens when the acid (lemon) and base (baking soda) combine, creating a mild neutralizing effect and a gentle carbonation.
Obsessed with this fizzy drink:
Ingredients
1 cup cold water (8–10 oz)
Juice of ½ a lemon (about 1–2 Tbsp)
⅛ teaspoon baking soda (a small pinch is usually enough)
Optional: 1 teaspoon stevia or maple syrup (for sweetness)
Instructions
Squeeze the lemon juice into the glass of water.
Add the stevia/maple syrup (optional) and stir.
Add the pinch of baking soda last — it will fizz as it reacts with the lemon’s acid.
