Making soda with 'Rainbow Flavors' soda flavorings is easy.
Step 1) Dissolve yeast in a cup of warm water (98 deg. F). Let stand 5 minutes or longer to dissolve, mix thoroughly before adding (Champagne yeast is best).
Step 2) Shake extract bottle well. Combine soda extract and sugar in sufficiant warm water to dissolve sugar (use warm tap water).
Step 3) Now add yeast mixture. Add warm water to bring level of liquid up to correct amount chosen, as indicated in measuring table (included with instructions). Makes up to four US gallons.
4) Mixture can be tasted. More or less sugar or Soda Extract may be added to suit your taste.
5) Fill sanitized bottles within 1-2 inches of the top. Seal bottles with screw or crown caps. Bottles not sealed may become flat or sour.
6) Lay bottles on sides and check for leaks. Age 3-4 days at room temperature. Then store in cooler, dark place. Total agihng at least a week- 2 weeks improves flavor. As natural carbonation takes place, a slight yeast deposit will form on bottom. When serving, pour carefully as to leave yeast deposit. This is not harmful in any way, but somtimes gives an off flavor. Refridgerate soda before opening.
* Each soda extract will make up to four US gallons of soda. Recipe for making less given with instruction sheet * Honey may be substituted for sugar * If you have co2 gas and soda keg, soda can be carbonated without yeast.
* Low Calorie recipe: Add 4-6 tablespoons table sugar to each gallon of mix, plus 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of yeast and the proper amount of flavor concentrate. Add artificial sweetner (e.g. splenda) to taste. The natural sugar will be totally consumed by the yeast in the carbonation process; when fermented fully, no trace of the natural sugar is left.
