FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. Can I store this homemade soda for later?
It’s best to drink it fresh since the carbonation from sparkling water can go flat over time. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours.
2. Can I use still water instead of sparkling water?
Yes! If you prefer a non-fizzy version, simply use filtered or coconut water for a refreshing juice.
3. What if my soda tastes too tart?
Green apples and lime can be quite tangy. You can balance the flavor by using a sweeter apple variety (like Fuji or Honeycrisp) or adding a small amount of honey.
4. Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh lime?
Fresh lime juice is always best for flavor and nutrients, but bottled lime juice can work in a pinch. Just make sure it has no added sugars or preservatives.
5. Can I add other fruits to this soda?
Absolutely! You can mix in fresh mint, cucumber slices, or even a splash of orange juice for a unique twist.
6. Is this soda kid-friendly?
Yes! Since it contains no artificial ingredients or caffeine, it’s a great healthy drink for kids.
