2-3 cups raspberries + honey + water + time =


Hey Reader,

Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I just can't get enough of them. Last week, we were out picking raspberries, probably eating more than went into the basket.

One of my favorite ways to use them is to make a fermented soda. Cool and refreshing and without the mystery ingredients found in modern-day sodas.

It's as easy as mixing honey, water, and raspberries together and then giving time for the bacteria to work their magic.

The yeasts and bacteria naturally present in the raspberries, along with the enzymes in the honey, make fermentation happen. No starter is required.

Fermented Raspberry Soda

Both fresh and frozen berries can be used. It's super easy to make and is ready in less than a week.
