🧾 Ingredients (typical for the raspberry variety)

• Sugar

• Citric acid – for fizz and refreshment

• Acidity regulator: sodium bicarbonate (for effervescence)

• Raspberry powder / dry matter from raspberry concentrate (~1 %)

• Raspberry flavouring

• Colouring: beta-carotene (natural colouring)

• Liquorice extract (for flavour and stability) (shop.herbex.cz)

Ingredients may vary depending on the specific batch – always check the label on the packaging.

📊 How it works

• Preparation: Empty the contents of 1 sachet into ~0.3 l of well-chilled water and stir thoroughly – the powder reacts with the water to create a fizzy drink.

• Fizz: The combination of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate creates bubbles that mimic classic fizzy drinks such as ‘šuměnka’.

🥤 Taste and characteristics

• Flavour: a sweet, fruity raspberry flavour with a gentle fizz.

• Refreshment: a quick, lightly fizzy drink suitable for everyday refreshment.

📌 Tips

• Serve well chilled for maximum refreshment.

• Can be served with ice or pieces of fresh fruit for a more pronounced flavour experience.

• It is not a substitute for traditional sparkling water – the fizz is created by a chemical reaction between the powder and water.
