Fermented Grapefruit & Fennel Seed Soda with Wild Ginger Bug Starter

Wild Fermented Starter: The alchemy of Mother Nature. Three ingredients at the mercy of the winds of fate as inherent microbes are encouraged to grow and flourish. The beauty being that every time you make one, it will harness the power of slightly different microbial flora, giving each batch a distinctive ilk.

 

The Ginger Bug, once made can be stored in the fridge for 4 weeks, feeding the day before you wish to use it again. It is resilient and can be kept this way for years.

 

Don’t limit yourself to just this soda, experiment with any fruit, using the skin for the microbes. Traditional Ginger Beer and Lemonade are great starting points.

The Wild Starter is such a magical way to harness the power of nature

Feel free to switch the citrus for anything that takes your fancy, just maintain a sharp acidity to foil the sweet notes

The Magic Happens when you wait, patience is a virtue
