Fermented Strawberry Lemon-aid Soda
So I made greek yogurt (get my recipe here), and after straining it I had a ton of whey, that I definitely needed to find something to do with it. I mean how wasteful would it be if I threw it out..
I decided to make this Fermented Strawberry Lemon-aid Soda. This fermented soda was surprisingly easy to make, and it tastes delicious.
Fermented Strawberry Lemon-aid Soda is a healthy alternative to bottled sodas. You know exactly what's going into these, and you don't have all of the additives of traditional soda.
Check out the recipe below and try it out, there are so many fruit varieties you can make with this... I would love to see what you came up with. I used bottles like these here. I was able to get 2 bottles from this recipe.
