I just pinch the base of the flower with a little twist between thumb and finger, and that detatches all the petals, then just gently pull them all out in one pinch and it leaves all the leaves behind. Just thought I would share, because its quick and easy!Gorrozollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147408421043281846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-11960289904777406532016-04-01T08:15:37.340-07:002016-04-01T08:15:37.340-07:00Hi Rebecca.

Maybe chicory, turmeric, and burdock? Ginger gives such a nice flavor and I'm so sorry you can't enjoy it! The others will impart their own flavor, but it's really just the starter that would taste like it. When you make the actual soda you can flavor it however you want :) Good luck!Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-65655724451637553952016-03-27T08:19:21.755-07:002016-03-27T08:19:21.755-07:00Thank you for this awesome process.

I wouldn't use dandelions that are from a sketchy area.

I've never mixed the two but will now. <br /><br />In response to alcohol question it's the second ferment/adding additional goodies li k e fruit (common with kombucha) that creates alcohol. With a first ferment the most you'll get is vinegar. I hope that helps you Sarah of Nature's Nuture. <br /><br />Also...Seriously thank you for sharing this!! I'm really excited to get more dandilions. I think I'll plant some specific lay in my garden beds as the goats eat so many from the yard.

But I do use a wild fermented soda starter, or a ginger bug. There is a link to the ginger bug instructions in the beginning of the article- you can use it to turn just about any sweet tea or juice into a natural soda!Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-66346398015866289102013-09-25T06:11:29.765-07:002013-09-25T06:11:29.765-07:00Aren't the bacteria killed by the boiling wate...Aren't the bacteria killed by the boiling water?<br />Do you add in more bacteria?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12323693807738043149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-11278021109218715862013-08-19T17:39:01.382-07:002013-08-19T17:39:01.382-07:00So clever!
