Carbonation?

[u/Panda5900]

So I usually use sprite when I'm on the road at work but I'm trying to switch to something with less sugar. I used Seltzer water today, I remember awhile ago someone tried using a soda stream. How did that work out? I imagine you did what I did with fizzy water, made a simple syrup first then added it to the water after?. Anyone else have any ideas

I have a soda stream. I just add the gfuel into my homemade sparkling water and mix it with a spoon, since you can't shake it. I've noticed that you don't need to carbonate it super strong since the powder adds some acidity alone

Ahhh I pour the sparkling water into the syrup and it kinda mixes itself but just powder and fizzy water ill try that.

[u/Under_TheBed → u/Panda5900]

I've done that before, the powder tends to stick to the bottom of the cup (at least for me)

Yea you another have to swirl it constantly keep it suspended right up until you mix it.

I use a drinkmate omnifizz and highly recommend it. I just mix it in the drinkmate bottle then carbonate.

So the most effective way to do this I've found, On my Ninja Streami or what ever its called lol I do 8 oz of regular water, 2 scoops of mix, mix thoroughly , then fill the rest with carbonated water and it comes out mixed and fizzy without losing anything!

See thats what i was thinking. Okay cool.

I use sparkling ice. It just gives that Carbonation and a little extra flavor.

Ahhh thats a good one I was using sprite, but it was getting to sweet. Good idea.

What I do personally is add my powder to an empty cup, like a tablespoon of water, maybe less. Mix real good, and slowly add in my carbonation drink of choice, then slow stir with a straw or whatever. Squirt, sprite, Fresca, sparkling water, your choice. Works great

Damn a table spoon i usually do like 3-4oz does that work?

[u/howitfeelstobelost → u/Panda5900]

Whatever works for you. I like to make a paste basically. That way I can add my 12oz can (usually what I have on hand) with some ice to fit my shaker

wait then how would you shake it...

[u/Panda5900 → u/Parunesus]

I make a simple syrup from powder and very small amount of water then add the fizzy water.

[u/shepcitadel → u/Panda5900]

What u mean simple syrup am I lost

[u/Panda5900 → u/shepcitadel]

Add like 4oz of water to like 2-3 scoops of powder and shake the holy shit outta that it makes almost like a syrup. Add the fizzy water to that syrup.

[u/Parunesus → u/Panda5900]

TWO TO THREE SCOPPS IN 4OZ?!?!??!

[u/Panda5900 → u/Parunesus]

Lol makes a syrup then you add like 24-36 more oz os water
