How to Make Carbonated Water at Home

Seltzer, carbonated water, sparkling water, or club soda. Whatever you want it, a cold glass of fizzy water with a twist of lime is a wonderfully refreshing drink. It tastes even better after you learn how to make carbonated water on your own.

Learning how to make carbonated water is easy. Many people assume it is a difficult or mysterious process. As a result, they willingly pay premium prices at the grocery store for the same water they have coming out of their taps at home.

The secret is to use a home carbonated water machine. I just found out about these recently but apparently they have been around for a long time. But they make it quick and easy to make sparkling water at home. They turn the whole process of seltzer making to three easy steps.

Step 1: Fill up a reusable bottle with the water of your choice. I use chilled tap water. You can also run the water through a Brita filter first if you prefer.

Step 2: Insert the bottle into the carbonation machine, twist it into position, and make sure it is firmly locked into place.

Step 3: Here is the fun part. The only control on the carbonation machine is a big button on top. Simply push this button three or four times to carbonate the water. Each time you push the button, you can hear and see the carbonation whooshing into the water. Normally, three or four button presses are enough, but you can add more if you like. It all depends on how fizzy you like your water.

That’s it. You now have a bottle of crisp, clean, sparkling water. You can drink it now or add your favorite juice or other flavoring.

Learning how to make carbonated water allows you to make it just the way you like it. You control every step of the process and every ingredient.
