Tonic water, also known as Indian tonic water, is a soft drink, carbonated in nature with an additive called as Quinine, which is commonly used in combination with other drinks, like gin. Quinine is actually a medicine, which was used as a prophylactic agent against malaria, whose content has been reduced in tonic. Since it has medicinal effects due to addition of quinine, it got the name Tonic. Tonic water was intended to be used in South Asian and African regions, which has high cases of malaria.
Tonic contains 83 mg. of quinine in a liter. An eight-ounce glass or tonic would only have about 20 mg of quinine, considerably less than the dose that used to be prescribed for leg cramps (200 to 300 mg).learly, quinine can be dangerous for certain people, but the FDA has not banned quinine from tonic water. Quinine gives this beverage its distinctive flavor. Either the FDA doesnât consider tonic water a danger to public health or the agency worries about arousing the ire of millions of gin and tonic drinkers.
