An ode to mixed fresh lime sodas:When I was in India, I used to drink fresh lime sodas every single day, because it is the most refreshing drink you can possibly find. It's better than water, soda, iced tea, etc. Amazing stuff. So the options are to get it salty or sweet or salt and sweet mixed. I used to drink only salty, but then my friend enlightened me to the mixed variety. I was hooked. Of course, everyone has their own preferences... my sister drinks them salty, my mom likes them sweet, etc etc. So, try all the varieties and let me know what you like best! Here we go, for everyone to enjoy:
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black salt (kala namak)
2 tsp sugar
8 oz seltzer water
Mix and watch the bubbles foam up! (It's like a super cool chemistry experiment in a glass! The salt gives the carbon dioxide a site to form bubbles. The insoluble carbon dioxide wants to escape the carbonated beverage, and the salt provides a surface area to do so. Didi, that was super nerdiness just for you!)
