Soda Pop, Naturally

Photo is from linked blog.

A delightful friend I haven't met, Cherish, is learning to make soda pop. Who knew the drink has its origins as a naturally produced drink?

"Not Dabbling in Normal" knew so I'm linking to their blog of natural soda pop recipes. 

Mix your ingredients, add yeast, wait a few days for it to get fizzy, pour it over ice. Natural carbonation results from the early stages of fermentation; you simply halt the process before the concoction becomes an acoholic beverage. I believe I'll start with the ginger-ale.  This may be the treat of summer 2012: Here's the blog of recipes.
