Carrot Cake Kefir Soda

I love carrot juice for kefir soda which inspired me to try a carrot cake kefir soda. It's paired with apple juice and cinnamon for a fizzy soda that you'll want to make again and again.

Servings: ounces

Ingredients

1 packet Kefir Soda Starter Or ½ cup Kefir Whey
1 cup Apple juice 100% juice
1 cup carrot juice 100% juice
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
Water, spring or filtered with minerals filtered is best or spring water

Instructions

Add the Kefir Soda Starter packet OR kefir whey to your juice and stir till dissolved.
Add your juice and cinnamon to a 32-ounce bottle. A funnel helps. (Make sure you use bottles such as Grolsch or Bormioli thick glass bottles. Bottles bought at craft stores can explode.)
Fill the rest of the bottle with water leaving an inch of room at the top.
Allow it to ferment for 3-7 days or until bubbly and fizzy. If your home is 75°F or warmer it will usually take 3-4 days. Colder homes can take 5 days or longer, but you'll need to check it by popping the top and see if it's getting fizzy. It will start to bubble out the top if it does.
When it's done, you can pour in a glass and enjoy right away or place it in the fridge. Keep it stored in the fridge or it will continue to ferment and get overly fizzy and hard to pour. Burp daily & consume within 1-2 weeks for the most benefits and the best flavor.
You can use ½ cup of this finished kefir soda as a starter to make a new bottle.
Add the other ingredients and ferment again. It should only take a half to a full day to ferment. It ferments faster on subsequent batches and you can make many bottles over and over again!

Notes

Make sure you use good bottles made for brewing. Check your bottles often by opening them so they don't explode.
