Grab a red cabbage from the fridge. Chop it up, boil it for five minutes, and strain the purple liquid. That’s your DIY pH indicator. Drop a splash of your water into the purple juice. Pink = acidic (6 or lower). Blue = alkaline (8 or higher). Purple = neutral (7-ish). It’s like a science fair project, but way cheaper than therapy.
Now, if you get bright pink, your water might be fizzy or acidic. If it turns dark blue, your water might be weirdly basic. Either way, you now have a cool party trick. Congratulations, you are officially the most interesting person at brunch.
