How to Make Sparkling Water (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Sparkling Water, or 'Air Berkilau', is a refreshing beverage that has gained popularity across Malaysia, especially in urban areas where healthy drink options are sought after. While not originally traditional, Malaysians have embraced sparkling water by infusing it with local flavors such as pandan, lemongrass, and citrus. This beverage offers a unique twist to standard water, making it a delightful choice for those who want hydration with flair. The taste is light and effervescent, often customized with natural ingredients like daun pandan or serai (lemongrass) for aroma and flavor. It's perfect for hot Malaysian days, serving as a healthier alternative to sugary drinks. Sparkling water is increasingly served at cafes and festive gatherings, reflecting Malaysia's multicultural tradition of blending global trends with local tastes. By infusing Air Berkilau with indigenous ingredients, you can enjoy a beverage that celebrates Malaysian heritage while staying mindful of health.
