Notes

Activated charcoal gives the drink its unique black color. It’s usually available at health food stores.
Be cautious when using activated charcoal as it can interact with some medications.
Adjust sweetness by changing the amount of simple syrup to fit your taste.
If you can't find black salt, regular salt works too. It just won’t look as spooky!
