How to carbonate water?
Many people like to drink sparkling water. The most popular substance that saturates water is carbon dioxide. Less commonly, it is a mixture with nitrogen or oxygen.
It is worth noting that in addition to organoleptic qualities, carbon dioxide acts as a preservative.
There are two types of gas saturation:
- Mechanical – when carbon dioxide is supplied from a cylinder to pre-chilled water. So the usual water is produced from the shelves of supermarkets;
- chemical method – chemical reagents are added to such water, which, when reacted, emit carbon dioxide. So produce soda.
On an industrial scale, water is carbonated with the help of special devices – saturators, industrial Ro plant ,water filtration plant, which are connected to a gas cylinder. Before carbonating water with carbon dioxide, it is necessary to cool it, since its solubility increases with decreasing water temperature.
How to carbonate water at home?
Here we have studied the abundance of methods described on the Internet, first we’ll talk about how you can carbonate water at home, but you shouldn’t.
There are two real, effective and safe ways:
- Use of a domestic saturator.
- Cooking soda.
Today there are special small saturators called siphons. They are used both in domestic conditions and in bars.
How does a siphon or water saturator work?
The device is a set of:
- the siphon itself, which evenly releases carbon dioxide into the water;
- replaceable small-capacity carbon dioxide cans;
- metal, plastic or glass containers for water.
- The usage algorithm is extremely simple. Water is poured into a container for aeration, a saturator is screwed onto it. Then, a safety valve at the top of the siphon is unscrewed from it. In its place, a can of gas is screwed neatly, directly through the thread, so that the needle located inside the siphon correctly breaks the can. After that, the gas will begin to flow into the water, you need to wait a little time. To pour water, you just need to press the button or hold down the lever.
- With this appliance, you can make different drinks at home, such as tarragon or mojito.
- If you are already a very big lover of water or like to collect large companies, you can purchase a large carbon dioxide cylinder and a special saturator for it.
How to make soda at home?
Carbon dioxide is obtained by the interaction of carbonates with acids. The most common components that you can find at home are baking soda (NaHCO3) and citric acid or fresh lemon juice. For cooking, you need to use one teaspoon of soda and citric acid (you can replace juice with 1 lemon), 6 tablespoons of sugar and 1 liter of clean cold water. Mix the mixture and pour 1 liter of water. If desired, ice and mint can be added.
Drink such water quickly, since coarse bubbles tend to be removed very quickly.
