How do I use Newport Flavors Organic Spring Water Flavors? This is one of the most frequently asked questions. However, because everyone has different tastes, the answer is never definite. The simple answer given: conjecture. In other words, you get to determine how much flavor you use in the water, but we recommend you follow a short exercise to determine the perfect recipe for you. Begin with 8 ounces of water and add 4 to 8 drops of 50% Citric Acid Solution. Taste for proper acidity (orange or apple = more acidic, pear or banana = less acidic). Next, add 4 to 8 drops of spring water flavor and sweeten to taste with Stevia Drops, Sweet Drops (AceK), Sugar, or your preferred sweetener. If the beverage has a strong smell, or if it leaves a taste of wax in your mouth, you've over-flavored! Reduce all quantities by half (except water) and begin again.
