This light and refreshing fermented soda is a delicious and health conscious summer beverage option, especially for those aiming to steer clear of spirits. This rhubarb and honey soda recipe involves some unconventional ingredients and a bit of preparation, but it certainly seems worth it. The honey and rhubarb both serve as healthy sugar alternatives in this sweet recipe.
In order to produce a rhubarb and honey soda, one must start by acquiring either a jar or sauerkraut or kefir. Although both are not quite ingredients, both provide live cultures essential to the fermentation process.
Since the fermentation process causes a natural effervescent reaction in the soda, it is recommended that it is consumed within one week of making it as to avoid a buildup of pressure.
