Fermented Pansy Soda Recipe
Ingredients:
- Fresh pansy petals (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup raw honey (look for unpasteurized or raw honey with natural yeast and bacteria)
- Filtered water
- A pinch of creativity! 🌸
Instructions:
- Harvest Pansies:
- Gather fresh, pesticide-free pansy petals. Make sure they are clean and free from dirt or debris.
- Prepare the Sweetener:
- Dilute the raw honey in filtered water to create a sweet syrup. The honey’s natural yeast will kickstart fermentation.
- Use about 1/2 cup of honey per 2 cups of water.
- Combine Pansies and Sweetener:
- Place the pansy petals in a glass container (a 16-ounce swing-top bottle works well).
- Add the sweet honey-water mixture to the container, leaving about 1-2 inches of headspace at the top.
- Ferment:
- Close the lid tightly and shake the bottle gently to distribute the honey.
- Store the container in a warm place (such as your kitchen counter) for 2-3 days to allow fermentation.
- If a stronger fizz is desired, continue fermenting for a few more days, periodically venting the bottle to release any excess carbonation.
- Enjoy!
- Strain the fermented pansy soda to remove any petals.
- Serve chilled and savor the delicate floral flavors with a touch of effervescence.
Remember, this pansy soda isn’t just a refreshing drink—it’s a work of art! Feel free to experiment by adding other herbs, spices, or even a splash of citrus juice. Cheers to creative concoctions! 🌿🌼✨
