This recipe is like two in one, i actually made jal jeera few days back and i had few of the syrup leftover. So i thought of adding soda in it and make it into a mint masala soda which is my favourite soda to order in the soda shop. And when i tasted it, it does tasted the same. So yummy..

The one modification from this recipe and the jal jeera is the measurement of sugar, this recipe needs little more sugar and jal jeera needs less. Anyway will share jal jeera recipe in a separate post..
