Fermented Beverages

How to Make Orangina (Fermented Orange Juice) + Video

31 Recipes

Many people believe that ancestral societies drank mostly water. The truth is that they drank plenty of fermented beverages too.

When I say fermented, I don’t necessarily mean alcoholic either.

The world of traditional fermented beverages primarily includes those that contain lactic acid, (the beneficial kind) instead of alcohol. They offer plenty of probiotics and enzymes too. No wonder traditional peoples enjoyed such amazing gut health!

The fermented beverage recipes in this section consist of medicinal tonics as well as tasty sodas. Try them all and see which ones suit your family’s fancy best.
