Fermented Lemonade Soda
From Cheryl Paswater from Contraband Ferments
Ingredients
Makes 1 quart
- 6 cups water
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup lemon juice (or other juice of your choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh whey
Instructions
- Warm the water in a saucepan over low heat, keeping it just warm enough to dissolve the honey – about 100 F. Whisk in the honey continuously until fully dissolved in the water. Turn off the heat, and remove the pot from the stove.
- Whisk the lemon juice and whey into the honey water until fully incorporated.
- Pour the lemonade through a narrow funnel flip-top bottles. Seal the bottles, and allow the lemonade to sit at room temperature to ferment at least four and up to seven days. You can open a bottle to check for fizziness and flavor, keeping in mind that the warmer your kitchen and the more time you allow, the sourer and more fizzy your soda will be.
