Sparkling Ginger Soda

Sparkling Ginger Soda

La Diosa Fizz

A bubbly, zesty tonic to awaken your senses + support digestion.

This homemade ginger soda is sweet, spicy, and full of Ayurvedic brilliance. With fresh ginger, citrus, and a splash of sparkle, it lifts your mood, stimulates your agni (digestive fire), and leaves you feeling energized—but not jittery.

Serve it in a glass that makes you feel divine, with herbs, flowers, and fruit like the goddess you are.

Ayurvedic Energy Notes

• Ginger is the queen of agni—warming, stimulating, and great for clearing Kapha stagnation or Vata chills.

• Citrus like lime or lemon brightens the liver, supports digestion, and boosts mental clarity.

• Raw honey or jaggery syrup provides sweetness with pranic nourishment (used only once the drink cools).

• Sparkling water adds movement, joy, and a playful vibe—especially refreshing in warmer weather.

Instructions

1. Make the ginger infusion:
   In a small saucepan, simmer ginger with ¾ cup water for 5–10 minutes, until fragrant and golden. Strain and let cool slightly.

2. Sweeten + brighten:
   Once the infusion is warm (not hot), stir in the honey/syrup, lime juice, and a tiny pinch of salt. Taste and adjust.

3. Pour + sparkle:
   Fill a glass with ice and pour the ginger base over it. Top with sparkling water and stir gently.

4. Garnish + glow:
   Add fresh mint, basil, citrus slices, or edible flowers. Sip slowly, and let the bubbles lift your spirit.

Dosha Tips

• Vata: Serve warm or room temp, and use still water if sparkling feels too airy. Add a dash of cinnamon.

• Pitta: Use lime over lemon, skip black salt, and garnish with cooling mint or cucumber.

• Kapha: Add extra ginger, black pepper, or cayenne for heat. Go light on sweetener.

Sacred Sips Ritual

“I drink to awaken joy. I sip to stoke my light. I sparkle from within.”

Play soft music. Put on earrings. Let this soda be a celebration, even if you’re just barefoot in the kitchen.
