Acacia GumBeginnerCitric AcidMalic AcidPopSuperbag

Step away from that boring ol’ bottle of pop and learn how easy and tasty it is to DIY sodas with just the right touch of carbonation. Try our sweet strawberry fresca or luscious grape for a refreshing spin on the familiar, or really step outside the box with roasted sweet potato soda that will explode your taste buds.

Sweet Potato Soda

[/vc_column_text]

Ingredients

  • 200g (1 baked sweet potato) Sweet Potato, Baked
  • Water 440g (1 ¾ cups)
  • 220g (1 cup 1 Tbsp) Dark Brown Sugar
  • 4g (1 tsp) Salt
  • 5g (1½ tsp) Malic Acid 
  • 20g (4 Tbsp) Acacia Gum
  • 0.25g (¼ tsp) Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.5g (½ tsp) Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 1 Sprig of Rosemary
  • 200g (7 oz) Water

Equipment

  • Blender
  • 100 Micron Superbag
  • Whipping Siphon
  • CO2 Chargers

Timing

Active Time: 25 Minutes

Total Time: 2 Hours

Yield

3 Cups

  • Blend Ingredients

    In a blender place the baked sweet potato, water, dark brown sugar, salt, malic acid, acacia gum, cinnamon, black pepper, clove, and rosemary. Blend on medium speed for 5 minutes.

  • Strain

    Strain through a super bag for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has passed through the bag. Feel free to gently squeeze the liquid through the bag.

    The 100 micron superbag if perfect for this, any larger sized strainer will let the puree pass through and not produce a clear soda.

  • Charge in Whipping Siphon and Serve

    In a whipping siphon place 100g of sweet potato syrup and 200g of water.

    Charge the whipping siphon with 1 CO2 charger. Give the charger a shake and release the pressure immediately. Charge with a second charger and allow it to refrigerate for 1 hour.

    To serve, release the pressure from the whipping siphon and remove the top of the siphon. Pour into a glass and drink.

  • Black Grapes 440g (1lb, Seedless)
  • Water 260g (1 ¾ cups)

  • Malic Acid 6g (2 tsp)
  • Acacia Gum 14g (3 Tbsp)
  • Angostura Bitters 2 dashes
  • Red Food Coloring 2 drops (optional)
  • Blue Food Coloring 2 drops (optional)

    In a blender place the Grapes, sugar, water, salt, malic acid, acacia gum, angostura  bitters, and food coloring. Blend on medium speed for 5 minutes.

    Allow the mixture to rest for at least 4 hours, to extract as much flavor from the skins without becoming tannic.

  • Strain

    Strain through a super bag for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has passed through the bag. Feel free to gently squeeze the liquid through the bag.

    The 100 micron superbag if perfect for this, any larger sized strainer will let the puree pass through and not produce a clear soda.
