Finnish Forest Soda fermenting natural carbonated bubbles. Made with herbs picked while hiking in the forest, honey & yeast. So easy and you can make this too for a taste of Your Local Forest. This soda has: Spruce, Pine, Lingonberry, St Joans Wort, Heather, Blueberry leaf, Wood Sorrel, Labrador tea, Yarrow. Tastes like finnish forest. Recipe from Pascal Baudar’s book The Wildcrafting Brewer. Basically you just pick your herbs, clean your jar, utensils & hands. Place herbs in jar, add spring water, honey, yeast, mix. I used 79 g honey per L water. Add 1/2 ml yeast per L. Place paper towel on top to keep bugs out & stir 4 times a day with clean spoon. Wait 1 day for fermentation bubbles to appear. Strain into bottle, seal it, let sit 1 more day to ferment even more bubbles. Then refrigerate. Drink within a few days. So Delicious!! Also contains naturally fermented bacteria that are beneficial to intestines plus all the healing properties of the herbs. And how sweet to taste your own local forest plants while they are in season, a reminder of the time you were there walking through the forest….
