Making Sherbet

 Aim: 

I want to find out how to make a good sherbet

Research:

Method:

Equipment:

  • Citric Acid
  • Raro (Any flavour)
  • Baking Soda
  • A cup
  • A stick
  • A piece of paper

Instruction

  1. Get all of your equipment ready.
  2. Pour some of the dry ingredients on the paper, make sure it's all separated.
  3. Scoop a little bit of baking soda using your stick and put it in your cup.
  4. Scoop a little bit of Citric acid and add it to the cup.
  5. Scoop a little bit of Raro and add it to the cup, for some flavour. 
  6. Blend the dry ingredients on the cup.
  7. Wet your stick and dip it on the sherbet, if you feel like it doesn't have that much foam, add more baking soda, but if it doesn't have that much flavour, add raro. If its not sour enough, add more citric acid.

Results:

Honestly, it tasted good for me. It's because I like sour foods and I liked the sherbet I made. Once it touched my tongue, it started fizzing.

Discussion:

Why is Citric acid really sour?

Originally, Citric acid is made out of derived lemon juice, lemon juice is also sour. 

Why did it foam?

Once sherbet touches water, it starts foaming and fizzing. The reason why it foams is because, Citric acid is a sort of acid that is made out of lemon. Once you mix citric acid and baking soda and pour water on it, some atoms combine into carbon dioxide.
