Ingredients for the Anti-Inflammatory Soda:
- Cinnamon sticks: 2 sticks.

- Dried hibiscus flowers: 2 tablespoons.
- 2 cups (approx. 500ml) water (for the infusion).

How to Make Anti-Inflammatory Soda:
- We start by extracting the compounds from our ingredients. In a small pot, add the 2 cups of water and the cinnamon sticks to get started.
- Beyond its unique flavor, cinnamon is a potent anti-inflammatory that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Next, add the cloves, known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.
- Add the ginger, which brings not only a zesty kick but also powerful anti-inflammatory benefits and digestive support.
- Bring the mixture to a boil to properly infuse the ingredients. If you prefer, you can swap the ginger for turmeric.
- Once infused, strain the liquid to get a beautifully colored base, ready to be transformed into a delicious soda. Let it cool, then stir in the sparkling water and refrigerate.
- The result is a drink with refreshing bubbles, perfect for replacing sugary, store-bought sodas.
