Baking soda is a natural cooking ingredient that’s also highly alkaline. With its pH of 9, it easily raises your water’s pH. Simply pour ½ to 1 tsp (3-6 g) of baking soda into an 8 oz (237 mL) glass of water and stir or shake the glass well to fully combine the baking soda and water. Drink no more than 1 glass of baking soda each day.

To make baking soda water, all you need is a half teaspoon of baking soda and a glass of water, which is about 200 millilitres. Mix both the ingredients and drink once a day. Make sure you’re using baking soda and not baking powder, as baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, while baking powder has other ingredients added to it.
