You can make water alkaline by adding alkaline-boosting substances. According to one source, common methods include using pH drops or baking soda.
Methods to Alkalize Water
Here's a breakdown of methods you can use to increase the alkalinity of your water:
-
Adding pH Drops: These commercially available drops are specifically formulated to raise the pH of water. Follow the instructions on the product label for the correct dosage.
-
Using Baking Soda: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is a readily available and inexpensive option.
- How to: Add a small amount of baking soda (about 1/8 teaspoon) to a glass (8 ounces) of water.
- Mix well: Stir until the baking soda is fully dissolved.
- Important Note: This method increases the sodium content of the water, so it is not suitable for individuals on a low-sodium diet.
By implementing these methods, you can adjust the pH level of your water to a more alkaline state.
