carbonating
Infusing with gas
Carbonating is adding carbon dioxide to a liquid, creating the bubbles in soda, sparkling water, and beer.
The process can occur naturally through fermentation or artificially by forcing gas into the liquid under pressure: I'm carbonating water for homemade seltzer.
Carbonated drinks fizz because the dissolved gas escapes when pressure is released.
