Sherbet Experiment

Today in class we did a science experiment. We made sherbet and tested what quantity of ingredients made the best sherbet. The ingredients we used were icing sugar, citric acid, tartaric acid and baking soda. Our first combination was 1 part icing sugar, 1 part citric acid, 1 part tartaric acid and 1 part baking soda, it was too bubbly. Our best combination was 5 part icing sugar, 0.5 part citric acid, 0.5 part tartaric acid and 0.5 part baking soda. It was really fun making sherbet and finding the best combination of ingredients.
