• 2 tablespoons baking soda
• 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp jelly powder (color and taste as you like)
• Various small glasses to fill the finished effervescent powder

Make effervescent powder yourself – instructions

• If you have everything together, you can mix your own effervescent powder:
• Fill the citric acid, the baking soda, the icing sugar and the jelly powder into one of the small glasses. Mix it all up.
• Close the jar. Give it a good shake again and you’re done.
• Leave the effervescent powder for a while after making it. Store dry.

Further use of the effervescent powder

• Once your effervescent powder is mixed, you can use it in the following ways:
• Put some effervescent powder in your mouth with a small teaspoon. Let the bubbly mixture melt in your mouth.
• If you add some water to the effervescent powder, a chemical reaction will start. The citric acid will react with the baking soda. This creates carbon dioxide – the water starts to bubble and your tongue tingles.
