Making soda pop from scratch at home can be a fun experience.
Soda pop has been around for centuries and is a popular drink among both children and adults. Soft drinks have their roots in mineral water that was found in natural springs, according to the Fire Museum of Missouri. The carbon dioxide from the springs caused it to bubble naturally, this bubbling is known today as fizz. Flavors were later added to the water and manufacturers began to mass produce the soda. Today, however, you can make soda pop right in your own kitchen.
Instructions
1. Measure out 1 cup of seltzer water by pouring it into a measuring cup and set the water aside. Pour 2/3 of a cup of soda syrup into another measuring cup and set the syrup aside also.
2. Remove the cap from the 1 liter bottle of seltzer water and insert a funnel into the top of the bottle. Pour the syrup through the funnel and into the bottle of seltzer water.
3. Screw the cap back onto the bottle of seltzer water and slowly turn the bottle upside down so the syrup begins to blend together with the water. Repeat this process three to four times or until the syrup and water are well blended.
4. Pour a small amount of the mixture into a drinking glass and taste it to see if it is flavored to your liking. Slowly add the seltzer water from the measuring cup back into the seltzer bottle if the pop is too strong.
