Lemon Water with Baking Soda: How to Prepare It Safely
A simple glass of water, a little lemon juice, and a small amount of baking soda may sound like an unusual combination, but it has become a popular homemade drink. The mixture is easy to prepare, although there are a few important things to keep in mind before making it part of your routine.
What Happens When Lemon Meets Baking Soda?
Lemon juice is naturally acidic, while baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is alkaline. When the two ingredients are combined, they react and produce carbon dioxide, which is why the mixture may fizz.
This reaction changes the character of the drink, but it does not turn it into a proven treatment for medical conditions.
A Simple Way to Prepare It
For a mild homemade version, you can use:
- 1 glass (about 250 ml) of water
- 1–2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
