Step 2

Add two teaspoons of raspberry extract to the water. Stir the mixture thoroughly to properly disperse the flavoring.

Step 3

Mix in two cups of sugar to the liquid. For best results, use white refined sugar or sugar cube.

Step 4

Measure 1/3 teaspoon of baking yeast. Add it in with the other ingredients and mix.

Step 5

Place five cups of red food coloring into the mixture. Continue stirring until all of the ingredients have dissolved.

Tip

Carbonate the mixture if you're making a bubblegum-flavored beverage. To do this, place two gallons of dry ice into a large plastic container. Cover the container with an airtight seal, wait for the dry ice to evaporate (usually about two hours), chill, and drink. If you prefer, replace the sugar with artificial sweetener for a healthier bubblegum flavor.
