Summary

Soda is delectably fun to drink -- and even more fun to make. It's easy, it's inexpensive, and best of all, the home soda maker controls the sweetness level and ingredients, creating a drink that's exactly right. The variety of sodas that can be made at home is spectacular. Any one can create a personalized brand -- for pennies a drink! Homemade Soda offers bubbly recipes and simple instructions for easy-to-learn techniques. Soda makers of any experience level -- from beginners to experts -- will delight in this must-have resource. Author Andrew Schloss clearly explains the three basic methods of carbonation: yeast brewing, carbonating in a siphon, and infusing a flavor base with seltzer. Using these simple techniques, anyone can make a delicious array of refreshing recipes, such as Honey Cardamom Fizzy Water, Fruity Root Beer, Pomegranate Punch, Sparkling Espresso Jolt, Chai Fizz, Cold Fudge Soda, Sparkling Orange Creamsicle, Sangria Shrub, Malted Molasses Switchel, and Berry Vinegar Cordial. Some recipes show readers how to re-create the flavors of favorite commercial soft drinks. Still more recipes show how to use homemade soda in decadent desserts and adult cocktails. And a handy problem-solving section helps readers troubleshoot if the unexpected happens. So indulge in a glass of Lightly Salty Caramel Seltzer, enjoy the novelty of some Sparkling Rose Water, or serve a Bubbling Bloody Mary at your next brunch. Soda lovers can become soda makers -- in seconds flat!
