Soda contains a lot of unhealthy stuff.
But you can drink it without harming yourself, provided you make it yourself.
Sodas favor the development of cancers, leukemias and cholesterol, among others.
Did you know that drinking 1 liter of industrial soda was equivalent to swallowing 17 sugar cubes?
But if you do it yourself, it can be perfectly harmless.
- 8 to 10 cl cane syrup
- a drop of lemon essential oil
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- and of course sparkling water (made with the machine or purchased individually)
1. Take a perfectly clean plastic bottle.
2. Mix all the ingredients.
3. Shake vigorously.
4. Leave to rest for 15 minutes in the fridge before tasting.
There you go, you have made your homemade soda :-)
I just tried it:it's good, easy to make and ultra economical!
1/2 lemon costs 10 cents, lemon essential oil around €5 for the preparation of a hundred sodas, cane syrup €3 for many preparations as well.
Finally, sparkling water costs 50 cents in supermarkets and around 15 cents if you make it yourself with the machine.
Making a 1.5 liter bottle of homemade soda costs less than 50 cents, while a bottle of Coca Cola of the same capacity costs on average €1.50.
That is to say, we save approximately €1 per bottle.
And, I would like to remind you:by making your own soda, you preserve your health...
