We found a magazine when we were going through the school things and in it was a recipe for How to Make Sherbet.
The boys have never tried sherbet before, and the reactions were hilarious.
How to Make Sherbet
Ingredients
- 1 tsp citric acid
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- 3 heaped dessert spoons icing sugar
- 2 level dessert spoons of jelly crystals or more to taste
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a zip lock bag and shake to mix together.
- Place about half a teaspoon of mixture onto your tongue.
Notes
You have created an acid-base reaction in your mouth.
What's Happening?
The citric acid is the acid.
The bicarb soda is the base.
Mixed with saliva they create a gas.
It is the carbon dioxide bubbles that give sherbet its fizz.
The icing sugar is needed to make the sherbet sweet and the jelly crystals add flavour.

I’ll definitely try this one 🙂
I love sherbert dips!
