Ingredients

1/2 tsp baking soda (plain water version) 1–2 cups filtered water, 240–480 mL (plain water version) 1 tsp baking soda (lemon version) Juice of half a fresh lemon, about 1 tbsp (lemon version) 1 cup filtered water, 240 mL (lemon version) 1–2 tbsp raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (ACV version) 1/4 tsp baking soda (ACV version) 8 oz filtered water, 240 mL (ACV version)

Instructions

  1. Measure baking soda: Use a proper measuring spoon and level it off carefully. Never estimate the amount.
  2. Add filtered water: Pour filtered water into a clean glass at room temperature or cold depending on the version.
  3. For the lemon version, juice first: Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the glass before adding baking soda.
  4. For the ACV version, add vinegar first: Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw apple cider vinegar into the water and stir gently.
  5. Add baking soda slowly: Sprinkle baking soda into the liquid carefully to control the fizzing reaction.
  6. Wait for the fizz to stop: Let the bubbling settle completely before drinking, especially important for the ACV version.
  7. Stir gently and drink slowly: Sip the drink over three to five minutes rather than all at once.
  8. Rinse your mouth after drinking: Follow with a sip of plain water to protect tooth enamel.

Notes

Do not exceed 1/2 tsp of baking soda per serving for the plain or ACV versions, and 1 tsp for the lemon version. Consult your doctor before daily use, particularly with kidney, heart, or blood pressure conditions. Always mix fresh right before drinking. These drinks do not store well. Use a straw when possible to reduce contact with tooth enamel. These drinks support hydration habits but do not replace balanced eating and regular exercise for weight management.
