Notes
Stirring Tip: When stirring in the soda water, gently mix it. Over-stirring can cause the bubbles to dissipate too quickly, affecting the drink's texture.
Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add more syrup, but try not to overdo it to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Food Pairings: This drink pairs wonderfully with light snacks such as salads, nuts, and cheese. It helps maintain a healthy, light overall meal experience without clashing with the flavors.
