Simple Green Apple Soda (Printer-Friendly)

A refreshing, fizzy drink with fresh green apple juice, lime, and sparkling water—naturally sweet and quick to prepare.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Juices

01 - 1.5 cups fresh green apple juice (from 3–5 apples)
02 - 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

→ Beverages

03 - 2.5 cups additive-free sparkling spring water

→ Optional Ingredients

04 - 1 dash spirulina powder
05 - Lime or apple slices for garnish

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Chop 3–5 apples (depending on juicer type), then juice them. Alternatively, blend chopped apples with up to ½ cup water and strain through a fine sieve or nut milk bag.
02 - Immediately mix the fresh apple juice with the lime juice to prevent oxidation and flavor loss.
03 - Whisk in spirulina powder if using, or blend briefly to combine evenly.
04 - Pour in sparkling spring water and stir gently. Adjust the quantity to achieve desired flavor intensity.
05 - Pour the mixture into glasses and garnish with lime or apple slices. Coat apple slices with citrus juice to prevent browning.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Best consumed fresh; color and flavor diminish after 4–6 hours due to oxidation.
02 - Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
03 - Substitute still filtered water for a non-carbonated drink or use probiotic beverages like kombucha for added health benefits.
04 - Organic apples enhance nutritional value and eliminate the need for peeling.
05 - Add honey or maple syrup to sweeten if desired.
