The name brand baking soda is important for lending it more of that clean, delicious effervescence that one expects from a hand-crafted, high quality crack – knockoffs just don’t compare. You may also try adding a little lemon zest for a real treat that gives your crack a refreshingly citrus air, or try a little tarragon if you’re in the mood for something a little more piquant on the front, savoury on the back.

This is artesian crack-making, son. It’s an art form.
