Watermelon and tangerine make the most refreshing kefir soda! 🍉🍊 This naturally bubbly probiotic drink is fruity, slightly tangy, and perfect for warm summer days.

In this video, I’ll show you how to turn watermelon and fresh tangerines into a delicious fermented soda using Kefir Soda Starter. As it ferments, the beneficial bacteria and yeasts consume much of the sugar and create a light, fizzy drink filled with living probiotics.

It’s an easy and delicious way to replace sugary sodas while supporting your gut microbiome at the same time.
