Seltzer – Get Healthier with Homemade Seltzer water

Most experts agree that we as a nation drink far too much soda pop; we are addicted to the fizzy bubbles that make soda so unique.  Unfortunately soda is not good for us, full of sugar, artificial sweeteners and other chemicals and preservatives most doctors now advise us to avoid this drink and opt for water instead. Making the transition though from soda to water can be tough for many of us who have grown fond of the fizzy drinks we all love so much. Seltzer water is one alternative to soda pop that can give you the fizz you crave without all the junk that you don’t.

Seltzer water is simply water with carbonation added and then it is up to you to either add in the flavorings you want or drink it plain. By starting your fizzy drinks using seltzer water you can avoid all the chemicals and additives that are so bad for you and still enjoy the refreshing taste of a “soda”. Seltzer water can be purchased in the store in bottles or you can make your own. By making your own seltzer water you save lots of money and help the environment by not purchasing all those plastic bottles of seltzer water.

All that it takes to make seltzer water is a seltzer siphon and CO2 (carbon dioxide) soda charges. A seltzer siphon is simply a small bottle that is manufactured to hold the pressure of carbonated water with an air tight lid that provides a place to charge the bottle and a nozzle to dispense it.  A CO2 charge is a small cylinder that contains eight grams of CO2 or enough to make 1 quart of sparkling seltzer water.

You simply add water to the seltzer siphon put the lid on and charge the siphon with the CO2 cylinders once it has been charged give the bottle a good shake and let it sit for one hour so that the water has a chance to absorb the CO2.  That is all there is to making seltzer water, you now have a sparkling water that has no after tastes, is made with fresh water and tastes great. The only thing left for you to decide is whether you want to add flavoring to your water or drink it plain.

There are a number of different things you can add to your water, you can get concentrated soda flavorings if you simply cannot live without your soda but if you look around you can find ways to make some of your favorite sodas at home that will be much healthier. You can also add simple fruit juice to your seltzer water to give you a truly healthy beverage.
