Homemade Cherry Flavored Soda (pop)

Cherry Juice, The new super drink. The benefits of eating cherries and drinking 100% cherry juice is the new health craze. I have listed just a few of the health benefits found in cherries.
Helps fights cancer.
Helps prevent heart problems.
Relieve pain from arthritis, Gout,and headaches.
Helps the body produce melatonin.

I can not vouch for any of these claims.I do,however, feel that any beverage made frome 100% fruit juice can be beneficial. Carbonated (puts the fizz in our drink) fruit drinks are easy to make. Adults as well as the children will love the taste and the fun of making their own pop.

This fruit drink recipe requires one gallon of 100% cherry juice. You can find it at the super market in the organic food section.This first recipe is very easy and you will enjoy the taste.
You will need 1 gallon 100% cherry juice.
About 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
1/8th teaspoon of Ale yeast with 1/4 cup of lukewarm water.

All you need to do is add the lemon juice to the cherry juice. Stir to mix.
Add 1/8tsp of yeast to a little lukewarm water, let stand for a minute or two.
Add to your mixture. Stir to mix.
Bottle and store in dark place. (makes about 4 1 liter plastic bottles)
After about two days, squizze the bottles to feel if they are firm. If so place in your refrigerator.
If not, let carbonation take place for another day, than check again.

Later I will post additional recipes and information on making home made root beer and sodas.
