This spring I have been working with wild-crafted flowering native sage, rose, and elderflower. Sometimes I throw in melissa or lemon balm. The flavors are delicate, floral and very much alive.
M: I love the sodas and I've noticed they seem tastier as they age.... maybe my imagination?
L: No that is not your imagination. The flavors continue to develop. That is the true artisanal nature of these beverages and why they cannot be standardized into an industrial food system. The flavors continue to change and become more complex over time.
Some folks won't appreciate that and will expect uniformity.
M: I got home late last night and decided to drink remaining soda you made, but it was different and was perfect to my taste and absolutely divine!!! It was almost like the soda was alive and understood exactly what I needed and gave it to me. It gave me such a lift!!!
