do-it-yourself soda

Do-it-yourself soda involves creating your own carbonated beverages at home using specialized equipment or simple tools. This process typically includes adding carbon dioxide (CO₂) to a liquid, such as flavored water, to produce bubbles and fizz similar to store-bought soda. Methods range from using a carbonation machine, like a SodaStream, to fermenting sweetened liquids with natural yeast for natural carbonation. DIY soda allows customization of flavors and sweetness, offers an eco-friendly alternative by reducing packaging, and can be more cost-effective over time. It requires basic knowledge of carbonation principles and attention to hygiene and safety.
