When we get the non alcoholic thread up I’ll put my ferment recipes, it’s really surprising what delicious no-to-low alcohol, non-intoxicating but complex tasting stuff you can get with short term fermentation of scraps, things you would have just thrown out. Like sourdough bread, it always feels kind of like magic.
Now - this particular drink doesn’t sound delicious to me but fermented strawberries sure do. And the whole idea of getting fancy-ass food and drink from trash and magic is just awesome.
I’m going to wait for 2024 to see how the suggestions & votes go in the “what would you like to see” thread but it does look like a sticky post for non/low alcohol drinks is at the top so you are not alone. I do not like to drink alcohol too often and do usually have on hand either Tepache or ginger beer. Both are very easy and robust ferments, and can be used themselves to ferment fruit juices or cut up fruits. And of course make great mixers when you do want something boozy.
Shrubs are also pretty good in soda water. That’s a vinegar based syrup, some are fermented, some not.
My tepache recipe is in this community in a comment, if you can’t find it let me know. I have some setting up today, actually. A half-batch in a 2L pitcher.
