How to Make Tea with Baking Soda
If you are not averse to experiments, you can make tea with soda to appreciate the new taste of a familiar drink.
You won't need a lot of soda, just a pinch to make the tea dark and beautiful.
Place 1/4 teaspoon of soda per 2 liters of water in a teapot, tea to taste, then prepare the drink in the usual way.
