The sweetness of strawberries marries with a subtle, warm herbaceous overtone of fresh red shiso leaves from Feral Heart Farm in Sunol. Water kefir grains, also called tibicos, are used to ferment a base of filtered water with unrefined cane sugar and just a touch of molasses. The sugars are metabolized by the kefir grains to produce a light but rich effervescent base. The brew is then flavored with hibiscus and rose to produce a bubbly probiotic “soda.”
Ingredients: filtered water, cane sugar*, molasses*, strawberries*, raw unfiltered honey, shiso* (* = organic)
