Brewing Fermented Soda
Brewing Fermented Soda (aka. Fizzy):
Primary and Secondary Fermentation
Supplies:
Honey or sugar, herbs, fruit, juice, water, jar with secure (rubber-sealing) lid, strainer
1. Combine “Ginger Bug” liquid with a combination of herbs, sweetener, fruit/juice and water in a large (1-2 qt) jar. Use ~¼ C honey, ¼ oz dried herbs, and/or 4 oz fresh fruit per 1 Qt liquid. Sweetened juice contains as much sweetener as ¼ cup honey: 1 Qt water.
2. Cap the jar with a lid that has a rubber seal. Canning jars work great!
3. Leave on counter for 24 to 48 hours to infuse flavors and ferment.
4. Strain out the liquid and enjoy or let strained liquid carbonate in a sealed container for another 12+ hours and then put into fridge.
