Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing how to make a Fermented Strawberry Soda that is rich in Probiotics to support good gut health - and better than anything you can buy at the grocery store! Love, Mary
When you make ginger bug, weather you chop it finely or grated, I see you use the chopped form to make beverages with and not the grated one, how do you use the grated ginger bug form? Do you use a Tbs. of grated ginger bug to make your beverage?
Oh this sodqa is SO good! I've been making fermented sodas for about 5 years now and my family loves them! This strawberry soda is especially tasty but the blueberry is our favorite.😁😁.
I used the info you provided to make many berry sodas, ginger ale and hard cider. I bottled them all in Grolsch Beer bottles with ceramic top. Grolsch also makes capped bottle cases which are much cheeper. The bottles are very thick and green in color. None have ever broken if someone would like to try. Thanks for what you do, Mary.
I don't know if this would be helpful, but I saw this idea in wine making some years ago, and you may find it useful. For the bottle fermentation, you could stretch a helium quality balloon over the top of the bottle. It will expand when the fermentation causes gases to avoid pressure on the glass.
Update from 4 days ago. The uneven temperatures in my house were playing havoc with my homemade soda pop. I had resigned myself to waiting for warmer weather...and then I ran out. I might not be the brightest bulb in the string, but I'm determined. I racked my brain for a warm spot. My fridge is too well insulated to be warm on top. Rice bags were unreliable. No yogurt maker or seed starting pad. An ah-ha moment came when I was making coffee. We have one of the Bunn coffee makers that stays warm all the time! I made up a bottle and wrapped it with aluminum foil to keep it dark. Eureka! Soda pop! And it doesn't take up extra counter space, because it sets back out of the way in the space between the coffee maker and the wall; I never push my coffee maker up against the wall. I'm a happy woman ☺️
I may sound weird but I have some sort of a sleeping disorder and woke up at 3 AM one morning and didn't know what to do, I opened one of your videos cause I really wanted to fall back asleep and believe it or not I fell asleep listening to your sweet voice. I love all your videos and your recipes, I'm a mom of 5 so I really try to make them the healthiest foods I can. Thank you for being so kind and so sweet to your subscribers, you're so awesome! God bless ✝️
Well its a good recipe that ginger bug. I had only 6 strawberry left, so put in jar sliced,added ginger bug, then rest water. I let it sit 4 days.its been in refrigerator since 27th january. I opened it two days ago. It about blew my head off. Still lots of gas, and fizzy. Real nice. Thanks for the great videos.
I've been playing with this recipe ever since I first saw your video. I have 2 different bugs, a ginger and a grape. I think I am settling in on the ginger one, even when I'm making grape soda. I will say I'm having great success cutting back on regular sodas and I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms at all! I've poured my soda over ice forever. That cuts the bad a little. I now fill my big to go cup with ice, before work. I add a splash of elderberry syrup, fill it half way with my homemade soda and the rest of the way with whatever store bought soda I have. This will last all day. As the ice melts I just add more ice, stretching it out longer. The flavor holds nicely. I do drink a lot of water during the day, too. Truly, I could drink my ginger bug grape soda, cold, straight from the fridge all day long. But that kind of defeats the purpose 🤣 You have no idea how thankful I am to have found this video.
Thank you, Mary! I thought this was so neat! My grandchildren rarely ever get sodas if Mommy can help it and I am so proud of her for that. But I want to try this for my grand children! Grandma can now try to make them a "healthy" soda. :) I feel this would be both Mommy and Grandma approved.
Love this channel - I'm working on my first ginger bug and apple cider vinegar.I noticed that eating fermented foods fixed my heartburn so now I'm into fermenting all I can.

Hi Mary! What nice videos you have here! I appreciate your hints tips, and of course recipes. By way of giving back, I do have one idea to share that might be useful for you and your followers. When it comes to fermented beverages, I have to deal with the being a little absent-minded at times. There is a strong possibility that A beverage fermenting on the counter could get overlooked for a day, and this means that pressure can build to the point where it becomes a problem. Lol. So what I’ve started doing is taking my small pressure cooker, which is 6 L, and I start off with filtered water which I boil to sterilize to make sure there’s no other culture going to take that water, and Once it’s cool, I’ll go ahead and add the matter that I want to ferment, including the sugar. I was really surprised to discover the honey works just as well, (which was unexpected since it’s actually Antimicrobial). In any case, once I’ve got everything mixed in, with a yeast culture sometimes even, I put the cover from my pressure cooker back on there. Pressure cookers are made with automatic valves right on the top. They’re steel or aluminum, and the lids lock right on there. They pretty much eliminate the danger associated with pressure causing exploding. Once bubbles are visible, I taste it and see if I need to add any more honey or anything else, make adjustments, and refrigerate in swing top bottles just as you suggest. There are also bottle lids that will automatically let off pressure, once it builds to a given level, and they’re not expensive. They’re not strictly necessary, but they sure are a help for those of us are a little forgetful. There are inexpensive discs for Mason jars that are made of silicone and have a mechanism built into lit off some of the pressure there too. That eliminate some of the necessity of having to remember to burp the culture every day. If you have to leave the brew on the counter for a few extra days, you can always add more sweetness to the pot if it gets too tart. Thanks for your awesome work. I think everybody that learns from your channel will be healthier for it. That is no small contribution!
A short update on the Grolsch beer bottles with ceramic tops. I made a batch of mixed berry soda and put the bottles on the counter but had to drive 100 miles to care for my wife's father for several days. When we got back my wife opened a bottle and the contents shot up onto her, the kitchen curtains and the ceiling but the bottle was fine and I've used it since. Next time I'll remember to put it in the fridge.
I made my ginger bug a few weeks ago and I am brewing Gingerale right now. I think I will make the strawberry soda next either that or blueberry! Thanks for all your FANTASTIC videos Mary!!! God bless!🙏💗🫐🍓🍍

Oh, my goodness! This is lovely! I immediately went to the fridge and tasted my raspberry ferment learned from Heidi of Rain Country. Absolutely divine. Next up-soda. I can't wait. Thank you so much. I sent my daughter over to suscribe. There are a few things here she doesn't remember. She loves in WA like Heidi so I can't teach her for a while. I'm in CO. Love your generosity with your teaching. You make it easily doable. Many blessings. Love.
Oh Alison, Thank you SO much for all the kind words and for sharing my channel with your daughter. Oh my goodness!! Yes, Heidi's ferment!! Is that the fruit starter? Or something different? I really want to try that. If it's the fruit starter, have you tried making ferments with it or baking with it? I am so excited about that because I hate using whey in ferments. It gives such an off putting taste. Thanks again for being here!! Your comments are always a delight to read!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Yes. It's her fruit starter. Just use any and all fruits- just like the ginger bug. I haven't used it in anything , yet. The summer garden is goin' in and I'm under the gun. Rain Monday and Tuesday. Can you imagine raspberry soda? Equally divine I'm certain. And all thanx to you, you dear. Many blessings.
Alison Bock - Thanks so much!! Yes, raspberry soda will be divine. And I am anxious to make Heidi’s fruit starter. Lots of ferments coming as I harvest my veggies! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thanks for this video! I've made ginger ale for about a month now and just made a mint soda. I tried watermelon but left the pulp in so it wasn't tasting very good, gonna try that again. I had a pint of strawberries i was gonna freeze and then thought, hmmm, strawberry soda????? I tried straining the puree through a cheesecloth but it didn't go. So now I'm making a bit of a syrup with water and added sugar. We'll see how it goes!
When i started making water kefir awhile back i bought beer that is in one of those bottle donated the beer to a friend and got the bottles back to make the sodas. Works like a charm still have all the bottles so i will be trying this with the ginger bug mix

Gardening in Gnome town - I understand completely!! But let your nose and eyes be the judge. If you see mold, throw it out. If it smells bad, throw it out. But I have been very lucky over the years and everything has fermented quite well. Keep me posted and definitely let me know if you have any questions. I’m always here to help. Love, Mary😀😀😀
Thank you Mary! I’m working in my ginger bug now to make this goodness ☺️ In both of your recipes you used the chopped ginger instead of the grated. I’m doing a grated ginger bug so will be the same measurements? Any body? TIA 🤗
Great question. This is no where as tangy as kombucha so you may like it. Have you tried water Kefir? I like it a lot more than kombucha. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Hi Susan, Great question. If you use plastic, make sure that it is food safe and do not tighten the cap as the plastic may not withstand the carbonation. Love, Mary
I know this is a little late in coming, but would it be possible to make a peach billini flavored soda this way? How would I adjust it for other fruit or even herb flavors? Thanks in advance.
This would be so refreshing in the summer icy cold! Other than other types of berries have you ever made this with any other fruits? Like kiwi, peaches, pineapple or mango? Thanks Mary!!
Well said Nigel. I am so happy to see the crowds support you. I will join when I have a spare £25.00 but I don't right now, sorry. My support is 100% and I hope and pray this will turn the country around. Starmer is no match for you, he should step down, ha! not likely, he has the elites to pander to. Love and hugs, Sue xx
I love this, another inspiring video Mary! I haven’t made any soda yet, only kombucha, but I think this summer I had better try the ginger beer, my. Kids love ginger beer and I’m certain homemade will be a winner. I think the strawberry look delicious 😋 Great explanation and plenty of information. I’m not sure I could let all that wonderful carbonation escape my bottles, but I also have a few stories of opening explosions (that blew through the opening bags, I use to catch excited brews) one day there was so much kombucha on the roof, floor cupboards, me and even outside - through the flywire, that I didn’t know where to begin with the clean up 😂 It’s funny now that my kitchen is clean and I am dry...... much love 💕
Oh Elissa! I can only imagine what that was like!! You are so brave. I am such a chicken when it comes to carbonation!! Those swing top bale bottles scare me. When I have used them, I give them to Ted with a towel and tell him...you open it! LOL!! Love, Mary
Hi Mary. I love seeing you in the kitchen. Your teaching is fun learning. I will try making some of your beveraged. My mother used to make homemade ginger beer (ale) but she always3 put chrew stick along with the ginger while it ferment.

Bonnie King - Great question. No two ferments are the same so that can be a somewhat difficult question to answer. However, generally, any sediment will sink to the bottom overtime and the rest of the beverage will be clear. You can either pour off the clear part to drink or you can shake it and incorporate the sediment on the bottom to make a more cloudy drink. Hope this helps. Love, Mary🤗❤️🤗
Could I use frozen fruit? I have alot of Blackberrys from this summer in the freezer und a looking for different ways to use it. Greetings from Germany
Mary, I’m confused. What is the difference between water kefir, fermented twice and flavor added, and soda pop? Why do you need the ginger bug? I’ll really appreciate your response as I am brand new to fermenting. I had never even heard of water kefir and now I’m very eager to try it. Thank you!
Miss Mary I wish we were neighbors! How on earth did you get all this knowledge. I just watched your video of ice cream without an ice cream maker and I must say I loved the part with you and your husband, you were both so cute. Now you have gotten me to make vinegar for quite a while now and I have finally been able to grow a scobe(spelling?). Now I need to know what I can do with it and how do I take care of it? Thank.... Stay safe and Be Blessed
Can you explain why you think kombucha is healthier than the fermented fruit soda? I made my own wild cherry soda and garden grapes soda and have been consuming a glass of it every evening for the enjoyment but also for the probiotic benefits. Sounded like you thought that wasn't the best idea and I should be consuming kombucha instead.
Hi Mary, can I use kefir whey instead of the ginger bug? I’m new to this but I have a good amount of whey and would like to use it to make soda! Thanks!
Hi Mary greetings from Indonesia :) i love your videos.... great ideas and very details in explanation. I would like to try this fermented soda...but since i hate plastic bottles i concern about the swing top glass bottle which you remind to be careful with that. so what's the best way to avoid them accidentally explode if i would like to make some bottles at once and plan to keep them in the house ? and what if i would like to carry them outside ? or send to a friend ... does any shake during travel would possibly makes the bottle explode ? please your advice
Thank you so much for visiting. This is an excellent question. The commercial bread yeast used to make bread is different than the wild yeasts and good bacteria used to make fermented beverages such as the soda here. But read on... Commercial bread yeast focuses on - as the name implies - yeast - and specifically yeasts that have been selected for certain traits for consistently rising bread. Unfortunately, many of the health giving traits of wild yeast have been bred out of commercial bread yeast. On the other hand, the fermentation process with this soda focuses on both wild yeast and good bacteria. So if you start this process with commercial bread yeast, your final product will not be as health giving and most likely be sweeter than if you use the natural fermentation process because you will not have the same level of good bacteria to eat most of the sugar. As a side note...You may want to consider - instead of bread yeast - trying the yeast that brewers use to make wine or beer. I have not tried this but I think the final product might be closer to natural fermentation than using commercial bread yeast. Experiment and please keep me posted. I will be very interested in hearing about your results. HOWEVER... All of this said...the point of natural fermentation is to achieve a level of good bacteria in your foods that support good health. Experimenting with different ferments helps you learn to understand which ferments best agree with you and make you feel well or improve your health. Might it be sourdough? If so, you can actually use some of your starter to make your soda. Might it be kombucha or water kefir...you can use a bit of those to ferment your soda. Fermentation is really a process of trial an error and experimentation.

Thank you for your introduction. This is very useful, Mary❤️ I have been following your video for a while and trying to make the fermented berries. I still have some wonder if I release the carbon dioxide after 2 days and leave it another 2 or 3 days, it still has bubble and this will create alcohol inside?
Hi Sye, That is a good question. I'm not sure. I think if it were to turn to alcohol, it would be very mild - like kombucha - and then it may turn to vinegar. Love, Mary
Wonderful video as always! Thank you Mary! You seem like a such a sweetheart. I forgot to feed my ginger bug for 6 days! Is it still ok? Do you think maybe I can feed it and rescue it, and if so, how will I know if it's still good/usable? Or do you think I should just start a brand new ginger bug? Thank you so much for any help you can offer! God bless you.
Love Thy Neighbor - Thank you SO much for the kind words!! YOU are the sweetheart!! Yes, I think you can rescue your ginger bug. Remove some from the jar and discard it. Then feed what’s left with some fresh water, ginger, and sugar. Instead of grating the ginger, chop it up into small pieces and add a bit more water than the usually amount. Stir each day and feed each day and see if it starts to get bubbly after a few days. If so, you’re all set. You can also refrigerate it and then you only have to feed it once a week. Keep me posted on how it goes. We’ll work through this together. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

Hi Mary, made a first batch of bug and then the soda with strawberries, filtered water and I don't remembering the first batch was organic strawberries...but I think it was. It came out great. So I made a second batch a few days ago and it got real moldy after 3 days...today is day 4. Not sure what was wrong but I was wondering think I should throw it out? Or could I turn it into vinegar?.
So sorry to hear that it got moldy. You should discard it and start over. These things can happen - especially during warm weather. Sometimes the molds can just take over before the good bacteria can get a foothold. Love, Mary
Sounds great!! Great idea! Do y'have recipe for a lemon/lime soda? I'd actually also like to make my own coke out of coke syrup (I know, I'm bad) but would think it might still be waay healthier than to get an actual Classic Coke. I was no soda head by any stretch but sure do miss the occasionaly coke. Especially w/ pizza, ha!

That's a great question. Honey is high in antibacterial properties which can sometimes effect the ferment unfavorably. I have heard that others who have tried it have had mixed results. I would experiment and see how it turns out. Love, Mary
The uneven temperature in my house this winter is making my fermenting a chore. I've tried heating wheat bags which works but I have to be really cautious about keeping them heated evenly. I'm too cheap to buy a seed starting pad and I don't have a yogurt maker. I can hardly wait til warmer weather.
Oh Linda, I understand completely! It's crazy this time of year here in central Texas. The other day it was 72 and sunny - glorious. Now a cold front rolled in and it's in the 40s!! UGH!! The fluctuations in my kitchen are wild!! Love, Mary
Thanks for this, Mary. Can you ferment strawberries on their own, apart from salt, or sugar, or whey? I have a lot of strawberries in the freezer, and would love to utilise them as a ferment rich in probiotics.
@@typower9 Thanks. On reflection, they wouldn't ferment at all, without any of the additions. In the end, they would probably go rotten. I still have some in the freezer, and occasionally thaw a few out and pulp with cream, kefir or yogurt. Do you ferment much?
@@gracecotton9819 I make sourdough bread, yoghurt, sour cream and kefir. I made my first sauerkraut 3 wks ago and started my first fermented red onions yesterday! A few years ago I noticed that a kiwi I had had at room temperature and forgotten about had passed 'ripe' and actually fermented to the point of being almost alcoholic! That event made me aware of the ease of fermentation. A few years ago I made green pea natto unintentionally. Had soaked dried green peas, then rinsed at intervals and then forgot about them. This was in the summer.
@@typower9 You are doing well! Did you eat the kiwi and 'natto'? I used to make kombucha, and still have a few bottles in the cupboard. As much as I enjoyed it, I learnt, the hard way, that it is high in oxalates. The same thing with sauerkraut, or anything fermented. Such a shame. I fermented homegrown beetroot, hoping that it wouldn't have such a high oxalate content, but unfortunately, it did. I've never fermented red onions, only white in with the kraut. I am growing red this year, so may give them a try - if your experience is successful!
@@gracecotton9819 Thanks. I tasted the natto and it didn't taste bad but didn't eat the rest. I didn't like natto when in Japan. Or rather the consistency as much as anything else. I tasted the kiwi and it tasted fine but didn't eat all of it even though it tasted nice ( champagney). I think I would have if I had given myself longer to get used to the idea; but since it wasn't what I had been prepared for..i.e. the normal taste of a ripe kiwi, I didn't.
Hi Nicole, That is an excellent question! Unfortunately, I don't think it will work because the yeast and bacteria need a more substantial food to eat which I don't think swerve would offer. White sugar, cane juice, etc. work best. And the yeast and bacteria eat a lot of the sugar, as with water kefir and kombucha, so the final beverage is not very sweet. It is more like the old fashioned medicinal ginger ales made as a traditional healing food. Love, Mary
Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing how to make a Fermented Strawberry Soda that is rich in Probiotics to support good gut health - and better than anything you can buy at the grocery store! Love, Mary
When you make ginger bug, weather you chop it finely or grated, I see you use the chopped form to make beverages with and not the grated one, how do you use the grated ginger bug form? Do you use a Tbs. of grated ginger bug to make your beverage?
Mary, can I use frozen strawberry?
@@yogininamaste - That’s a great question. I have not tried it, but it may work. I would experiment and see what happens. Love, Mary🤗
Oh this sodqa is SO good! I've been making fermented sodas for about 5 years now and my family loves them!
This strawberry soda is especially tasty but the blueberry is our favorite.😁😁.
I have a question. I have a gallon glass carboy with an airlock on the lid. Is there anything I can make or ferment in it other than beer or alcohol?
I used the info you provided to make many berry sodas, ginger ale and hard cider. I bottled them all in Grolsch Beer bottles with ceramic top. Grolsch also makes capped bottle cases which are much cheeper. The bottles are very thick and green in color. None have ever broken if someone would like to try. Thanks for what you do, Mary.
I don't know if this would be helpful, but I saw this idea in wine making some years ago, and you may find it useful. For the bottle fermentation, you could stretch a helium quality balloon over the top of the bottle. It will expand when the fermentation causes gases to avoid pressure on the glass.
😂 that’s what my grandpa did with his wine making
Update from 4 days ago. The uneven temperatures in my house were playing havoc with my homemade soda pop. I had resigned myself to waiting for warmer weather...and then I ran out. I might not be the brightest bulb in the string, but I'm determined. I racked my brain for a warm spot. My fridge is too well insulated to be warm on top. Rice bags were unreliable. No yogurt maker or seed starting pad. An ah-ha moment came when I was making coffee. We have one of the Bunn coffee makers that stays warm all the time! I made up a bottle and wrapped it with aluminum foil to keep it dark. Eureka! Soda pop! And it doesn't take up extra counter space, because it sets back out of the way in the space between the coffee maker and the wall; I never push my coffee maker up against the wall. I'm a happy woman ☺️
I may sound weird but I have some sort of a sleeping disorder and woke up at 3 AM one morning and didn't know what to do, I opened one of your videos cause I really wanted to fall back asleep and believe it or not I fell asleep listening to your sweet voice. I love all your videos and your recipes, I'm a mom of 5 so I really try to make them the healthiest foods I can. Thank you for being so kind and so sweet to your subscribers, you're so awesome! God bless ✝️
Well its a good recipe that ginger bug. I had only 6 strawberry left, so put in jar sliced,added ginger bug, then rest water. I let it sit 4 days.its been in refrigerator since 27th january. I opened it two days ago. It about blew my head off. Still lots of gas, and fizzy. Real nice. Thanks for the great videos.
😂
I've been playing with this recipe ever since I first saw your video. I have 2 different bugs, a ginger and a grape. I think I am settling in on the ginger one, even when I'm making grape soda. I will say I'm having great success cutting back on regular sodas and I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms at all! I've poured my soda over ice forever. That cuts the bad a little. I now fill my big to go cup with ice, before work. I add a splash of elderberry syrup, fill it half way with my homemade soda and the rest of the way with whatever store bought soda I have. This will last all day. As the ice melts I just add more ice, stretching it out longer. The flavor holds nicely. I do drink a lot of water during the day, too. Truly, I could drink my ginger bug grape soda, cold, straight from the fridge all day long. But that kind of defeats the purpose 🤣 You have no idea how thankful I am to have found this video.
Thank you, Mary! I thought this was so neat! My grandchildren rarely ever get sodas if Mommy can help it and I am so proud of her for that. But I want to try this for my grand children! Grandma can now try to make them a "healthy" soda. :) I feel this would be both Mommy and Grandma approved.
Hi Tina, So happy to hear that!! Love, Mary
Love this channel - I'm working on my first ginger bug and apple cider vinegar.I noticed that eating fermented foods fixed my heartburn so now I'm into fermenting all I can.

@@MarysNest Thanks so much!
Thank you Mary.
Hi Mary! What nice videos you have here! I appreciate your hints tips, and of course recipes.
By way of giving back, I do have one idea to share that might be useful for you and your followers. When it comes to fermented beverages, I have to deal with the being a little absent-minded at times. There is a strong possibility that A beverage fermenting on the counter could get overlooked for a day, and this means that pressure can build to the point where it becomes a problem. Lol. So what I’ve started doing is taking my small pressure cooker, which is 6 L, and I start off with filtered water which I boil to sterilize to make sure there’s no other culture going to take that water, and Once it’s cool, I’ll go ahead and add the matter that I want to ferment, including the sugar. I was really surprised to discover the honey works just as well, (which was unexpected since it’s actually Antimicrobial). In any case, once I’ve got everything mixed in, with a yeast culture sometimes even, I put the cover from my pressure cooker back on there. Pressure cookers are made with automatic valves right on the top. They’re steel or aluminum, and the lids lock right on there. They pretty much eliminate the danger associated with pressure causing exploding.
Once bubbles are visible, I taste it and see if I need to add any more honey or anything else, make adjustments, and refrigerate in swing top bottles just as you suggest.
There are also bottle lids that will automatically let off pressure, once it builds to a given level, and they’re not expensive. They’re not strictly necessary, but they sure are a help for those of us are a little forgetful. There are inexpensive discs for Mason jars that are made of silicone and have a mechanism built into lit off some of the pressure there too. That eliminate some of the necessity of having to remember to burp the culture every day.
If you have to leave the brew on the counter for a few extra days, you can always add more sweetness to the pot if it gets too tart.
Thanks for your awesome work. I think everybody that learns from your channel will be healthier for it. That is no small contribution!
A short update on the Grolsch beer bottles with ceramic tops. I made a batch of mixed berry soda and put the bottles on the counter but had to drive 100 miles to care for my wife's father for several days. When we got back my wife opened a bottle and the contents shot up onto her, the kitchen curtains and the ceiling but the bottle was fine and I've used it since. Next time I'll remember to put it in the fridge.
I made my ginger bug a few weeks ago and I am brewing Gingerale right now. I think I will make the strawberry soda next either that or blueberry! Thanks for all your FANTASTIC videos Mary!!! God bless!🙏💗🫐🍓🍍

@@MarysNest Do you have a video on how to make root beer?
Hi MARY😃 I make a lot of fermented drinks 👍 kombucha, water kefir, June, ginger ale ,root beer, 😃and a lot of fruit sodas, since I live in Miami they are available to me year ❤round, but the🍓🍒 berries are very expensive so I never experimented with berries, I will have my wife go on Sunday to Whole Foods and buy me enough strawberries and blueberries. 🍓to make a few berrie sodas.
I will be making the strawberry soda on Sunday when I come back from work. I'm going 😞to sleep now I have to be at work😠 by 12 a.m. thank you for your teachings.👍👍

Oh my gosh!!! Thank you for this! I have a ginger bug that I didn’t know what to do with. Now I know!
Mary thank you for great videos!! Can I make a different bug? I have sensitivity to ginger! Tx in advance
Your channel is AWESOME!!! Thank you for all that you bring to brighten our lives!
Oh, my goodness! This is lovely! I immediately went to the fridge and tasted my raspberry ferment learned from Heidi of Rain Country. Absolutely divine. Next up-soda. I can't wait. Thank you so much. I sent my daughter over to suscribe. There are a few things here she doesn't remember. She loves in WA like Heidi so I can't teach her for a while. I'm in CO. Love your generosity with your teaching. You make it easily doable. Many blessings. Love.
Oh Alison, Thank you SO much for all the kind words and for sharing my channel with your daughter. Oh my goodness!! Yes, Heidi's ferment!! Is that the fruit starter? Or something different? I really want to try that. If it's the fruit starter, have you tried making ferments with it or baking with it? I am so excited about that because I hate using whey in ferments. It gives such an off putting taste. Thanks again for being here!! Your comments are always a delight to read!! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Yes. It's her fruit starter. Just use any and all fruits- just like the ginger bug. I haven't used it in anything , yet. The summer garden is goin' in and I'm under the gun. Rain Monday and Tuesday. Can you imagine raspberry soda? Equally divine I'm certain. And all thanx to you, you dear. Many blessings.
Alison Bock - Thanks so much!! Yes, raspberry soda will be divine. And I am anxious to make Heidi’s fruit starter. Lots of ferments coming as I harvest my veggies! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thanks for this video! I've made ginger ale for about a month now and just made a mint soda. I tried watermelon but left the pulp in so it wasn't tasting very good, gonna try that again. I had a pint of strawberries i was gonna freeze and then thought, hmmm, strawberry soda????? I tried straining the puree through a cheesecloth but it didn't go. So now I'm making a bit of a syrup with water and added sugar. We'll see how it goes!
Mary, your voice is so perfect and soothing - great for ASMR - thank you for sharing your recipes! They are excellent!
Could I use my frozen strawberries? Thanks. Love your channel. :)
When i started making water kefir awhile back i bought beer that is in one of those bottle donated the beer to a friend and got the bottles back to make the sodas. Works like a charm still have all the bottles so i will be trying this with the ginger bug mix
Great video! Thank you so much.
Wow soda! This is new to me. Can’t wait to try it
Thank you so much. I know how much work this is and I appreciate your time and knowledge.
As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love it!!!

Wow. I had no idea you could make something like this. This is so neat.
Looks delicious I love strawberries I'm sure I'll love this drink!
This looks so exciting ! I’ll have to try this 😊
Hi Malina, Glad to hear that you'll give it a try! Love, Mary
Thanks Mary.
Hi Mary! I am buying ginger and strawberries tomorrow, lol. This looks great. Thank you for another great video!
Hi Melanie, Wonderful!! Please let me know if you have any questions along the way! Love, Mary
Thanks for sharing. Lee and Daniel will love this and likely want to drink it daily. I on the other hand would use it as a treat.
Hi Jean, So glad you liked this. Yes - it's a treat!! Love, Mary
Can you add date syrup to the fruits instead of sugar? BTW I love watching your videos 😊
I’m a bit Leary of fermenting. But maybe I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the great information. God bless and have a great day
Gardening in Gnome town - I understand completely!! But let your nose and eyes be the judge. If you see mold, throw it out. If it smells bad, throw it out. But I have been very lucky over the years and everything has fermented quite well. Keep me posted and definitely let me know if you have any questions. I’m always here to help. Love, Mary😀😀😀
Mary's Nest thank you you are so kind! God bless.
Gardening in Gnome town - God bless you too!!❤️
Gracias
I love you Mary, you're just a joy. And your recipes are the bomb 💣 I wish you were my aunt!
Can we add a vanilla extract to make a Strawberry Cream Soda?
Thank you Mary! I’m working in my ginger bug now to make this goodness ☺️ In both of your recipes you used the chopped ginger instead of the grated. I’m doing a grated ginger bug so will be the same measurements? Any body? TIA 🤗
Hi Mary, I'm not a fan of kombucha so do you think that I probably wouldn't like this drink? Cause I'm debating if I should make it or not.
Great question. This is no where as tangy as kombucha so you may like it. Have you tried water Kefir? I like it a lot more than kombucha. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
This looks great just one question can I u plastic bottles as have loads of them
Hi Susan, Great question. If you use plastic, make sure that it is food safe and do not tighten the cap as the plastic may not withstand the carbonation. Love, Mary
As always very interesting video. Can I use frozen fruits for this recipe? Thanks a lot
Lily Pierre - Hi Lily, Thanks SO much!! Yes, you can definitely use frozen fruit. Keep me posted on how it works out. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
I know this is a little late in coming, but would it be possible to make a peach billini flavored soda this way? How would I adjust it for other fruit or even herb flavors? Thanks in advance.
Can you freeze or freeze dry the ginger so you always have some on hand to prepare a ginger bug and soda?
This would be so refreshing in the summer icy cold! Other than other types of berries have you ever made this with any other fruits? Like kiwi, peaches, pineapple or mango? Thanks Mary!!
Definitely. You can use any fruit you like. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Hi,
You are talking about cane sugar. In my country we have beet sugar.
Can one use beet sugar?
Thanks.
Well said Nigel. I am so happy to see the crowds support you. I will join when I have a spare £25.00 but I don't right now, sorry. My support is 100% and I hope and pray this will turn the country around. Starmer is no match for you, he should step down, ha! not likely, he has the elites to pander to. Love and hugs, Sue xx
I love this, another inspiring video Mary!
I haven’t made any soda yet, only kombucha, but I think this summer I had better try the ginger beer, my. Kids love ginger beer and I’m certain homemade will be a winner.
I think the strawberry look delicious 😋
Great explanation and plenty of information.
I’m not sure I could let all that wonderful carbonation escape my bottles, but I also have a few stories of opening explosions (that blew through the opening bags, I use to catch excited brews) one day there was so much kombucha on the roof, floor cupboards, me and even outside - through the flywire, that I didn’t know where to begin with the clean up 😂
It’s funny now that my kitchen is clean and I am dry......
much love 💕
Oh Elissa! I can only imagine what that was like!! You are so brave. I am such a chicken when it comes to carbonation!! Those swing top bale bottles scare me. When I have used them, I give them to Ted with a towel and tell him...you open it! LOL!! Love, Mary
Mary's Nest lol I don’t blame you, I now open them outside - I’m not taking any chances. 🍾
Moat Cottage Homesteading - Smart thinking!! 😱😱😱
Hi Mary. I love seeing you in the kitchen. Your teaching is fun learning. I will try making some of your beveraged. My mother used to make homemade ginger beer (ale) but she always3 put chrew stick along with the ginger while it ferment.
Hi Marva, Thank you for visiting and for the kind words!! And thank you for sharing about your mom's fermented beverages! Always nice to hear about these things!! Here is a link to more fermented beverages: ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U1n-wkIsBYXFtJFyoKS-ahG

Mary, how would ginger bug be used without making sodas?
Hi Mary will this come out clear or cloudy when it's ready to drink
Bonnie King - Great question. No two ferments are the same so that can be a somewhat difficult question to answer. However, generally, any sediment will sink to the bottom overtime and the rest of the beverage will be clear. You can either pour off the clear part to drink or you can shake it and incorporate the sediment on the bottom to make a more cloudy drink. Hope this helps. Love, Mary🤗❤️🤗
Could I use frozen fruit? I have alot of Blackberrys from this summer in the freezer und a looking for different ways to use it.
Greetings from Germany
Mary, I’m confused. What is the difference between water kefir, fermented twice and flavor added, and soda pop? Why do you need the ginger bug? I’ll really appreciate your response as I am brand new to fermenting. I had never even heard of water kefir and now I’m very eager to try it. Thank you!
Oh that is cool
It's so much fun to make and watch as it fizzes up! Love, Mary
Miss Mary I wish we were neighbors! How on earth did you get all this knowledge. I just watched your video of ice cream without an ice cream maker and I must say I loved the part with you and your husband, you were both so cute. Now you have gotten me to make vinegar for quite a while now and I have finally been able to grow a scobe(spelling?). Now I need to know what I can do with it and how do I take care of it? Thank.... Stay safe and Be Blessed
Can you explain why you think kombucha is healthier than the fermented fruit soda? I made my own wild cherry soda and garden grapes soda and have been consuming a glass of it every evening for the enjoyment but also for the probiotic benefits. Sounded like you thought that wasn't the best idea and I should be consuming kombucha instead.
I have 6 pounds of strawberries in my frig...wonder what to DO with them.... MS MARY.....YOU JUST TOLD ME. THANKS 4THIS VIDEO
Hi Mary, can I use kefir whey instead of the ginger bug? I’m new to this but I have a good amount of whey and would like to use it to make soda! Thanks!
Mary, can you use frozen fruit in place of the fresh fruit?
Your so awesome.. Thanks for sharing.. Have a great weekend. :")
Angie's Pantry - Thanks so much!! Your awesome too!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Hi Mary greetings from Indonesia :) i love your videos.... great ideas and very details in explanation. I would like to try this fermented soda...but since i hate plastic bottles i concern about the swing top glass bottle which you remind to be careful with that. so what's the best way to avoid them accidentally explode if i would like to make some bottles at once and plan to keep them in the house ? and what if i would like to carry them outside ? or send to a friend ... does any shake during travel would possibly makes the bottle explode ? please your advice
Thank you, this is very helpful! One question, can i use bread yeast instead of ginger bug?
Thank you so much for visiting. This is an excellent question. The commercial bread yeast used to make bread is different than the wild yeasts and good bacteria used to make fermented beverages such as the soda here. But read on...
Commercial bread yeast focuses on - as the name implies - yeast - and specifically yeasts that have been selected for certain traits for consistently rising bread. Unfortunately, many of the health giving traits of wild yeast have been bred out of commercial bread yeast.
On the other hand, the fermentation process with this soda focuses on both wild yeast and good bacteria. So if you start this process with commercial bread yeast, your final product will not be as health giving and most likely be sweeter than if you use the natural fermentation process because you will not have the same level of good bacteria to eat most of the sugar.
As a side note...You may want to consider - instead of bread yeast - trying the yeast that brewers use to make wine or beer. I have not tried this but I think the final product might be closer to natural fermentation than using commercial bread yeast. Experiment and please keep me posted. I will be very interested in hearing about your results. HOWEVER...
All of this said...the point of natural fermentation is to achieve a level of good bacteria in your foods that support good health. Experimenting with different ferments helps you learn to understand which ferments best agree with you and make you feel well or improve your health. Might it be sourdough? If so, you can actually use some of your starter to make your soda. Might it be kombucha or water kefir...you can use a bit of those to ferment your soda. Fermentation is really a process of trial an error and experimentation.

Great question.
Mary you are so knowledgeable, helpful, kind, pleasant and just all around sweet.
Can you use fruit that you have frozen and thaw before blending?
Thank you for your introduction. This is very useful, Mary❤️
I have been following your video for a while and trying to make the fermented berries. I still have some wonder if I release the carbon dioxide after 2 days and leave it another 2 or 3 days, it still has bubble and this will create alcohol inside?
Hi Sye, That is a good question. I'm not sure. I think if it were to turn to alcohol, it would be very mild - like kombucha - and then it may turn to vinegar. Love, Mary
Hi Mary ! Love your channel 🥰 would it be a good idea to add xylitol and erithrytol instead of regular sugar ? Thanks a lot
You don’t need to worry about the sugar. The bacteria is eating it. That’s what makes it ferment
holycow92883 wow amazing ! Thank you so much for responding 🤗
Wonderful video as always! Thank you Mary! You seem like a such a sweetheart. I forgot to feed my ginger bug for 6 days! Is it still ok? Do you think maybe I can feed it and rescue it, and if so, how will I know if it's still good/usable? Or do you think I should just start a brand new ginger bug? Thank you so much for any help you can offer! God bless you.
Love Thy Neighbor - Thank you SO much for the kind words!! YOU are the sweetheart!! Yes, I think you can rescue your ginger bug. Remove some from the jar and discard it. Then feed what’s left with some fresh water, ginger, and sugar. Instead of grating the ginger, chop it up into small pieces and add a bit more water than the usually amount. Stir each day and feed each day and see if it starts to get bubbly after a few days. If so, you’re all set. You can also refrigerate it and then you only have to feed it once a week. Keep me posted on how it goes. We’ll work through this together. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
The grated ginger consumes the liquid. Is it better to chop the ginger and start with more water?
Just seeing this now so am past the fresh fruit season. I have tons of frozen fruit in my freezer. Can I use that or must it be fresh?
Hi Amanda, Thanks for visiting. Fresh fruit works best but sometimes I have had luck with frozen fruit. Make a small batch to experiment. Keep me posted.

Hello! I have a question, can I use frozen strawberries for this? If so, do I let it defrost first or should I use it frozen? Thanks!
Hi Ami, I think the frozen strawberries would work but yes, I would defrost them first. Love, Mary
Hi Mary, made a first batch of bug and then the soda with strawberries, filtered water and I don't remembering the first batch was organic strawberries...but I think it was. It came out great. So I made a second batch a few days ago and it got real moldy after 3 days...today is day 4. Not sure what was wrong but I was wondering think I should throw it out? Or could I turn it into vinegar?.
So sorry to hear that it got moldy. You should discard it and start over. These things can happen - especially during warm weather. Sometimes the molds can just take over before the good bacteria can get a foothold. Love, Mary
Sounds great!! Great idea! Do y'have recipe for a lemon/lime soda? I'd actually also like to make my own coke out of coke syrup (I know, I'm bad) but would think it might still be waay healthier than to get an actual Classic Coke. I was no soda head by any stretch but sure do miss the occasionaly coke. Especially w/ pizza, ha!
Hello, can I use thawed frozen berries for this recipe? I buy berries in bulk when they're in season and freeze them. 😊

@@MarysNest ❤️
I have date syrup is that ok to use..?
Hello 👋
Can i use stevia?
Hi marry can we use honey instead of sugar or stevia??
Great question. I have just learned that...Since the honey will be diluted...it should work. Love, Mary ❤️🤗❤️
@@MarysNest Thank you awesome Mary!! You always respond and impart knowledge. Peace be unto you!
What about cranberries seems to you would need more sugar ?
Can you use frozen strawberrries?
Can honey be used to sweeten the fruit juice for the ginger bug?
That's a great question. Honey is high in antibacterial properties which can sometimes effect the ferment unfavorably. I have heard that others who have tried it have had mixed results. I would experiment and see how it turns out. Love, Mary
The uneven temperature in my house this winter is making my fermenting a chore. I've tried heating wheat bags which works but I have to be really cautious about keeping them heated evenly. I'm too cheap to buy a seed starting pad and I don't have a yogurt maker. I can hardly wait til warmer weather.
Oh Linda, I understand completely! It's crazy this time of year here in central Texas. The other day it was 72 and sunny - glorious. Now a cold front rolled in and it's in the 40s!! UGH!! The fluctuations in my kitchen are wild!! Love, Mary
Can we use other fruits to make these fermented sodas. Like pineapple instead of strawberries.....?
Definitely 🤗
Thanks for this, Mary. Can you ferment strawberries on their own, apart from salt, or sugar, or whey? I have a lot of strawberries in the freezer, and would love to utilise them as a ferment rich in probiotics.
I would say just try it with a small amount. What have you got to lose?
@@typower9 Thanks. On reflection, they wouldn't ferment at all, without any of the additions. In the end, they would probably go rotten. I still have some in the freezer, and occasionally thaw a few out and pulp with cream, kefir or yogurt. Do you ferment much?
@@gracecotton9819 I make sourdough bread, yoghurt, sour cream and kefir. I made my first sauerkraut 3 wks ago and started my first fermented red onions yesterday!
A few years ago I noticed that a kiwi I had had at room temperature and forgotten about had passed 'ripe' and actually fermented to the point of being almost alcoholic! That event made me aware of the ease of fermentation.
A few years ago I made green pea natto unintentionally. Had soaked dried green peas, then rinsed at intervals and then forgot about them. This was in the summer.
@@typower9 You are doing well! Did you eat the kiwi and 'natto'?
I used to make kombucha, and still have a few bottles in the cupboard. As much as I enjoyed it, I learnt, the hard way, that it is high in oxalates. The same thing with sauerkraut, or anything fermented. Such a shame. I fermented homegrown beetroot, hoping that it wouldn't have such a high oxalate content, but unfortunately, it did.
I've never fermented red onions, only white in with the kraut. I am growing red this year, so may give them a try - if your experience is successful!
@@gracecotton9819 Thanks. I tasted the natto and it didn't taste bad but didn't eat the rest. I didn't like natto when in Japan. Or rather the consistency as much as anything else.
I tasted the kiwi and it tasted fine but didn't eat all of it even though it tasted nice ( champagney). I think I would have if I had given myself longer to get used to the idea; but since it wasn't what I had been prepared for..i.e. the normal taste of a ripe kiwi, I didn't.
Would coconut sugar work? ThanQ
Would it work with swerve instead of sugar? Would good bacteria feed on swerve or stevia?
Hi Nicole, That is an excellent question! Unfortunately, I don't think it will work because the yeast and bacteria need a more substantial food to eat which I don't think swerve would offer. White sugar, cane juice, etc. work best. And the yeast and bacteria eat a lot of the sugar, as with water kefir and kombucha, so the final beverage is not very sweet. It is more like the old fashioned medicinal ginger ales made as a traditional healing food. Love, Mary
