Today, my friend, I am going to let you in on two magical soda making creatures… the ginger and Turmeric bugs! These little bubbling beauties are what you’ll need to begin your soda making adventure!

I have also recently learned, from a friend in Australia, that you can use the very same process above with a turmeric rhizome! How exciting is that??
I am getting my hands on some turmeric this week and will be back with an update, once I’ve gotten my self organised.
In the meantime, go to the store and buy a big ol’ organic ginger rhizome, some regular white sugar, and start fermenting your new kitchen friend today!
I’m also going to share a few of the many awesome and delicious recipes of soda you can make with your new baby(ies).
