How To Make a Lacto-Fermented Lemonade - Elixir Of Health - UPDATED !!! Ep.5

[@HomevertHomesteader]

I appreciate your interest in something better than soda or the usual drinks one can buy from the shops.
This alternative can compete with any of them and give you positive health benefits. (unless you are lactose intolerant - if so, I'm sorry :/ )
Let me know if you make this often.
I make a batch a month, and together with kombucha, it satisfies most of my fizzy drink needs.
Share with me what other homemade drinks you make - I'm curious and want to learn as many recipes as possible as I believe a happy gut Microbiome is an essential element of a healthy, happy life

At the moment, I constantly make different lemonades on the ginger bug. Ginger beer, kvass, lemon, lime, orange and coriander, quince, rosemary, thyme, rooibos and many combinations)

your life is amazing. when i watch out of window i see 50 people and 100 cars

[@HomevertHomesteader]

@@AshishKumar-en6cw that was my life too you know for the first 30 years of my life.Rat race, never happy, always thinking that happiness and fulfilment is in the next promotion, next toy and so on. I always wanted this life but nevertought I could have it or deserve ituntil I had enough of this grind and started working on manifesting my dream life.I worked hard and saved to make it work. There comes a day when you just say I Had It and then it all changes. Mind you this is just a small garden we got outside the city we moved to.we did this because we only had enough money for this and not a large piece of land where we could farm properly.but we knew nothing about farming or food production so we took it slow , learning in a 1000m2 garden and making mistakes while saving for a larger property for the future.
Small steps in the direction of your dream is the secret.Foccus on what you want and celebrate each small step forward.
foccus on the progress and learn from the mistakes and drawbacks.
Nothing is impossible
We are abundance embodied
We are the Universe experiencing the beauty of creation thereor we are abundance and love.
Believe in the above 3 lines and you'll live your dream life in no time.
May you get what you want and need .
Take care :)

Amazing cinematography and sound production! I loved watching it!

[@HomevertHomesteader]

Much appreciated , thank you 😍
Also thank for the time you took to watch the video.
All the best David.

My gosh, you are so creative in your “use everything” approach - a model worth emulating! The results are multi-fold, getting the best uses out of both the ricotta making and the lemonade making! I am so impressed. I’ll be trying some of these things in my own kitchen. Thank you! Take care.

[@HomevertHomesteader]

Thank you 😍

1: amazingly well shot for an instructional video, and you maintained the clarity of the instructions even while making the shots gorgeous
2: Me and my friends used to lacto-ferment red bell peppers, and they are sizzly and crisp and salty and delicious! I think you'd love them.

[@HomevertHomesteader]

Thanks for the feedback and for the 💡🙂.
I do lacto fermented hot sauce from chilli's and they are the only hot sauce I can eat - i will definitely try the bell peppers.
I love bell peppers 🤩
Thanks for watching 👍🤩

Love your country heart...am enjoying using your tips. Thanks for sharing... It's a whole different way of life...we should start a club/group for people with similar leanings!

[@HomevertHomesteader]

I'm all for it - and thanks for your feedback.
Let's get in touch 😉
Got the email address in the description of my vids.
Let's talk 🙂👍

Can you substitute allulose (naturally occurring sweetener) for the table sugar, or would that retard the fermentation process?

[@HomevertHomesteader]

I am not sure to be honest.
In my daily life I use stevia to sweeten my coffee and tea, but for fermented drinks I use plain sugar as most of it will be use by the fermentation bacteria and not much will be left when the process is done.
Still I don't know - try a batch and let us know if it worked.
cheers.

[@dogukan7406]

Does it taste so sweet ot not and can I lower the sugar without altering the result?

[@HomevertHomesteader]

For my pallet its the right amount of sweet, and i personally dont enjoy super sweet drinks.
But you can adjust that by the amount of time you let it carbonate/ferment.
The more it ferments the more the sugar is used away.
Don't leave it to long though or you'll end up with a vinegar like product - waste of time in my opinion if it gets there.
Thanks for watching ;)

[@jazzed2b]

Great video...one question however? Why the whey? What does it do and what happens if you don't add it? Will it still work?

[@HomevertHomesteader]

The whey helps in attracting the "good" fermentation bacteria .
Also contributes to the taste.
Whiteout it the lemon, water, and sugar will become a very saur, vinegar-like drink - not very appealing and no probiotics.

[@mikeFolco]

Where the F am I supposed to find birch sap my dude?

[@HomevertHomesteader]

😅 I do understand its not something that is always available or easy to find in stores
This is how I get it : th-cam.com/video/MFjagTtPieo/w-d-xo.html
Each year between February and March (in temperate climates) you can "tap" birch trees and get some of their sap.
Its the same process used in making maple syrup .
Nature always provides, we just need to be respectful of her and she will always take care of us.
Take care and all the best Mike.

[@Sasklahoma]

Great vid. Is this a Kiefer?

[@HomevertHomesteader]

It's a lacto-fermented Lemonade.
The lacto fermentation comes from the whey I added to it.🙂
Thanks for watching 👍

[@TheWatev123456789]

@To Pretty sure it's the lactobacilli bacteria in the air that become attracted to the lactose in the whey which causes the lacto fermentation.
