Instead of drinking Fanta, you can create your own fizzy probiotic orange Fanta at home using only three ingredients. It's rich in Vitamin C, fiber, and probiotic yeast to support your gut health. This recipe is an excellent and healthy alternative to Fanta.
Preparation: 4 hours
Carbonation: 3 days
Makes: 4 x 250ml bottles
Costs: ₹40/bottle
This is for all the Fanta enthusiasts. You can now skip the added sugars by creating your own Fanta at home. With the probiotic yeast found in the Probiotic Brew Bag, you can naturally carbonate this homemade Fanta while also improving your gut health.
This recipe works with any orange juice that you can get your hands on. The fresh stuff is the best but any packaged juices like Tropicana Orange Juice or Minute Maid Pulpy Orange works too.

Ingredients
750ml of fresh or packaged orange juice
250ml water
One Probiotic Brewing Bag by MyOwnBrews

Piece of cloth to cover the jar
A funnel for bottling
4 x 250ml bottles to bottle the final drink (only use glass bottles which can be used for carbonated drinks)
Our Probiotic Starter Kit has everything you need. Other than the orange juice and the water of course 🙂
Instructions
Preparation and Fermentation
Add the orange juice and water to the 1 litre jar
Open and add one Probiotic Brew Bag to the jar.
Cover the jar with its lid and give it a good shake.
Now remove the lid and cover the jar with the cloth cover.
Keep it in a cool place away from direct sunlight for 4 to 8 hours.
Bottling & Carbonation
After 4 hours, the yeast should be active. Now you can remove the cloth cover and cover the jar with the lid.
Give everything a good shake.
Open the lid and pour the probiotic from the jar into the bottles using a funnel.
Using the Carbonation Calculater, calculate the amount of sugar or honey you need per bottle and fill up your bottles and seal them shut. Again, keep the bottles in a cool place away from direct sunlight for 1 day.
Chill and Enjoy
After a day or two, move the bottles to your fridge. Drink it whenever you feel like drinking a Fanta or soda.
Keep them refrigerated and they are good for upto a week. But we doubt they will remain that long in your fridge after you taste the first one.
