ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ before getting into the good i should probably clarify that the first trial of water kefir with raspberry and lemon did not, in fact, pan out. the carbonation never came and the raspberries looked rotten by the end.. i did take a sip and it tasted not horrible but i was afraid to try more 😰 ㅤㅤㅤbuuuuut the great news is that my second batch turned out nearly perfect! i say as if i even know what perfect looks like in this context but we got both carbonation and wonderful flavor so i think we got it folks!!!! i love bananas so dearly, if that was not already clear from my previous 600 posts about banana bread. naturally the next step in my love for bananas had to come in probiotic soda form. ㅤㅤㅤ now that i think about it i don't think i've ever had regular banana soda before this so i can't really compare it to anything but i will say it turned out so much creamier than i was expecting. there was no milk added at any point in the process but this tastes almost like a fizzy banana milkshake.
