How to use baking soda and lemon juice

Add one or two tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice to half a glass of water. You need the strong acidity of lemons / limes - other citrus like oranges have high sugar content and are not suitable. Then stir in a little baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), up to about 1/8 of a teaspoon. After a few seconds it will fizz. Keep adding a little at a time until the fizzing slows down.
