History

August 2019

Started in the evening, August 14, 2019.

  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup lemon juice (from Eun-Joung's garden!)
  • 6 cups water

Enough to fill two 750ml pop-top bottles with room to spare (hopefully) for the carbon dioxide.

Inspired by this recipe, which calls for raw honey. Sadly, I didn't have raw honey, so I used pure (which is pasteurized), unfiltered. Hoping there's enough yeast in the air to ferment.

I used filtered water, which I also boiled for 30 minutes, then let cool to room temperature.

Placed it in a sealed brown bag (to protect from sun and also if it blows up), and keeping it in the kitchen, where it will hopefully stay warm. Should take 5-7 days. Gonna check every day for bubbles and possibly pop the lid to release the gas.
