Homemade Alka-Seltzer Gold

[Guest guest]

My mother was very good at making up concoctions from herbs, etc. when I was a

child. She never bought Alka-Seltzer, but made her own. She would fresh

squeeze a grapefruit (she always said that bottled wouldn't work well), added a

crushed asprin and about a quarter teaspoon to a half teaspoon of baking soda.

Stir. It will foam up. If it doesn't, add a bit more baking soda. Drink while

still foaming. I guess if you wanted to duplicate Alka-Seltzer Gold you could

just leave out the asprin. My son won't drink it, but then my son won't take

pills either, and many of you seem to have children that will, so I thought I

would post it.
