Have you considered using fermentation to carbonate your fav fruit drinks to make natural soda? Can find ebooks (library and free) or from watching you tube videos. My first batch of "homestead wine" was from tangerines from my yard about to get thrown away which turned out ok. Used plastic water bottles and it started off as a joke. Then I bought some basic equipment and now wanting to get this skillset in the bag of tricks. I mention this because you can stop the fermentation process early to end with carbonated fruit juice. I tried it. Is very good. Second pic is fruit wine from frozen blueberrys, a 3 berry mix and passion orange concentrate with raisins. Think all would make a tasty soda. View attachment 298635
Yes I have tried that before but I dont prefer it to be honest with you. I also tried something simpler with water kefir grains for the same effect. Problem was I really couldnt get the grains to perform with the same bubbly staying power they had at their beginning, for some reason, its like they would fizz out (even while reproducing like crazy). I had to be doing something wrong. Anyway, I am also on a keto diet and I was always a little worried some of the sugar would survive fermentation and that it would be just enough to effect the diet negatively. So for me, I would really prefer to get one of those tanks, and one tank could last me more then a year (would be nice). I remember the days you could get them more easily, now they have these mini ones that go with these soda streams but the mini ones cost a fortune for nothing and its alot more of small exchanges rather than one larger one a year. I also dont want another gadget, but the one large tank would be fine. They use them at restaurants, so I should look into it futher,
I just really like sparkling water, and was looking for ways to reproduce what I like and I have experimented with various forms of fermentation but never really got what I was looking for (or prefer).
