For all the Limca lovers out there, we get you. The struggle to make healthier choices can be overwhelming. But with our easy recipe, you can skip the sugary store-bought Limca and create your own at home. Thanks to the probiotic yeast in the Probiotic Soda Premix, you’ll not only enjoy a naturally carbonated drink but also support your gut health simultaneously!
Preparation and Fermentation: Creating Your Base
Juicing: Squeeze the juice from the lemon, sweet limes (mausambis), and limes. Add the juice along with some lemon skins to the 1-litre jar.
Adding Probiotics: Open and add one Probiotic Soda Premix to the juice in the jar.
Mixing: Add 20 gms of sugar to the jar. This will be eaten to make the fizzy soda. Stir it all up well, so its all mixed up nicely.
Prepare for Fermentation: Cover the jar with the lid. Place it in a cool area away from direct sunlight for 1 hour to ferment.
Bottling & Carbonation: Making It Fizzy
Check the Yeast: After an hour the yeast is active.
Final Shake: Shake the jar again to mix everything.
Bottling: Use a funnel to pour the Limca probiotic from the jar into carbonation safe glass bottles (swing top glass bottles).
Set Aside for Carbonation: Keep the bottles in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, for 1-2 days. Burp the bottle everyday to check if the fizz is to your liking.
Chill and Enjoy: Refreshment Waiting
Refrigerate: After the fizz is enough for you, (in 1 or 2 days) refrigerate your Limca probiotic bottles. This allows for maximum refreshment when cravings hit!
Storage: Keep them in the fridge. They are good for up to a week. Although I bet you’ll finish them sooner!
