There is an interesting device for making soda at home. This device costs about 8-10 dollars, but it is very simple to make and it is good to try it yourself. It is sold in a Chinese online store, but you can make your own device that is equally efficient, which will not look as presentable, but it will produce the same carbon dioxide and refill your water.

Firstly, we need two 5ml syringes, a piece of pipe or you can use a dropper and two plastic bottles. You need one bottle for 0.5 liters, and the second for 1.5 liters.

Necessary materials.

Firstly, we take 0.5, we have to make a CO2 generator from it. The principle of its operation will be as follows: CO2 is released in the interaction between soda and vinegar, then it moves through the pipe into another vessel.

Step by step actions.

First you need to create a carbon dioxide generator from a half-liter bottle. His work will proceed like this. When baking soda and vinegar react, CO2 is released. The gas flows through the tube into the second bottle, which will contain water or other liquid.

We must pour approximately 200 ml of vinegar 4-7% into a 0.5 bottle, and also add 6 tablespoons of soda. To avoid a reaction between the soda and vinegar before screwing on the lid, you should wrap the soda in a napkin in advance. You need to shake the bottle with soda and vinegar for 2-3 minutes. About 10 minutes have passed, let's try what we got. That's all, my dear friends! We made a carbonation machine.

How to make sparkling water at home? Very simply, using one of the suggested methods.

1. Using citric acid and soda.

The produced carbonated drink must be drunk. Shelf life is no more than a month.

Carbonated drinks became popular in the 19th century. Then this drink won the love of people around the world. At first these were classic soda drinks. Later they began to add fruit and berry syrups and other additional ingredients, which made this drink more tasty and aromatic. Now you can buy soda in any store, but isn't it better to try making it at home? Typically, you need to use a siphon to make carbonated drinks at home. However, if you don’t have it, then you can prepare an easier, but no less tasty option. We'll tell you a few recipes with which you can make soda at home.

There is no doubt that making soda at home is not so difficult. As you can see, it requires fairly common ingredients. If desired, you can add various juices, fruit drinks and decoctions to the drink. This way you can give the soda an unusual taste that you will like. It is better to drink the resulting carbonated water cold. This is the only way you can better taste the drink and quench your thirst.

A fairly simple way to make soda at home. Based on the simple dissolution of CO2 in water. To do this, we will build a CO2 generator. Its work is as follows: when vinegar interacts with soda, CO2 is released, then it passes into the second vessel and there it dissolves in our carbonated liquid. Is it just not true?

We will need: vinegar, soda, a couple of plastic bottles, a tube, a piece of napkin or toilet paper.

Here's what we did:

As can be seen from the figure, two bottles are securely connected by a tube. Please note that in the second bottle where our carbonated liquid will be poured, the tube goes to the very bottom, and in the first bottle where the reaction will take place, the tube slightly peeks out from under the cap.

We pour 100 - 150 ml into the first bottle. vinegar into our second liquid, which we will carbonate. Close the second bottle tightly.

Then we roll up a tbsp in our toilet paper. spoon of baking soda. This is done in order to add soda at once and not lose CO2

We throw it in and quickly close it.

The reaction begins! For better absorption of CO2 by the liquid, it is necessary to shake it and also to increase the reaction, shake the bottle with soda and vinegar. In short, it is better to shake both bottles alternately.

After some time, the reaction will end and you will have a homemade soda!

One of the Western companies even sells this device.

Every mother has probably more than once encountered requests from her child to buy a can of a bright carbonated drink. It's so tasty and fun when the bubbles tickle your tongue. But what is contained in these bottles is even scary to imagine. Isn't it better to just learn how to make soda at home and pamper your child with it?

The "Fizzy" Theory

Before you try to make sparkling water at home, you need to understand its composition. What are the familiar Fanta, Sprite or the Baikal drink made from? If you remove from the list all the substances with the terrible prefix “E” - preservatives, dyes, flavor enhancers and carcinogens, then there will not be many ingredients left: ordinary filtered water and carbon dioxide. The latter is precisely responsible for creating the fizzy drink. CO2 does not dissolve and does not sink in water; moreover, it can give the drink a characteristic sour taste.

It was on this principle of operation that the well-known soda fountains were built in the Soviet Union. Remember those remarkable devices where you could buy a glass of mineral water or water with syrup for only 3 kopecks? Inside these machines there was an ordinary carbon dioxide cylinder.

Today, you can prepare a fizzy drink using stationary home devices - siphons. They are built from three components: a plastic case, a CO2 cylinder and a water container. You pour regular filtered water into the bottle, screw it into the device, press start - and mineral water with gas is ready! What's amazing is that the number of bubbles is also controlled by you.

But even if you don’t have such a device, and it’s a pity to spend money on buying it, don’t worry - there are several options for making a carbonated drink. And they will be discussed further.

The first and most accessible option is to make pop using a chemical reaction of vinegar and soda. By the way, in this way, craftsmen make flying balloons at home, which are filled with helium in the store version. Although, to tell the truth, before enjoying a carbonated drink, you will have to work a little, or even call your husband for help.

Composition and necessary materials:

• 2 plastic bottles with a cap;
• transparent tube;
• scissors;
• paper towels;
• vinegar;
• baking soda;
• some water;
• drill.

Description of the cooking process:

• Using a drill, make holes in the center of each lid for a tube.

• Take the tube and cut the ends on each side at an angle to make it easier to insert into the bottle.

• Holding the end of the tube, carefully insert it into the hole in the lid. Lower one end a few centimeters into the bottle, the other almost to the very bottom.

• Pour the drink you want to carbonate into one of the bottles. Fill the second container 1/3 full with vinegar.

• Tear off a piece of paper towel and place 1 tbsp in the center. l. soda Wrap the paper in an envelope and place it in a bottle of vinegar.

• Screw the caps on both bottles tightly and wait for the reaction to complete.

• Then you can throw away the bottle of vinegar and pour the carbonated drink into a glass and enjoy its taste.

This world-famous drink, contrary to popular belief, was not invented in the USA, but in Germany during the war period. Then, due to the embargo imposed by Hitler, the import of syrup for the preparation of Coca-Cola became impossible and the chemist Max Kite came up with a new drink, which consisted of apple waste and whey. Time has passed, technologies have changed, and today Fanta is supplied to customers with orange flavor.

If your children really love this delicacy, we suggest pampering them a little. You will learn how to make orange pop at home from the recipe below.

Compound:

• Using a fine grater, remove the zest from one orange and add it to the other ingredients in the saucepan.

• Boil thick syrup from the resulting mixture over low heat and cool it.
• Squeeze the juice from the remaining oranges into a glass and strain the cooled sugar syrup into it.

• Fill a two-liter bottle with clean filtered water until it is about 2/3 full.
• Pour yeast intended for cider production into the bottle in a thin stream. You can buy these in the culinary departments.

• Now add sugar syrup mixed with orange juice.

• Close the cap and shake the bottle vigorously. Leave the container to sit at room temperature for 12 to 48 hours.
• After the specified time, the drink can be slightly cooled and poured into glasses, garnished with an orange slice.
