1
Combine Water and Sugar
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2
Add Yeast
Once the mixture has cooled, sprinkle 1 tsp of yeast over the surface and let it sit for 10 minutes to activate.

3
Incorporate Flavors
Stir in 1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of lime juice, 2 tsp of ginger extract, and 1 tsp of your chosen natural flavoring to the yeast mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

4
Ferment the Mixture
Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it sit in a dark, warm place for 3-5 days. Check daily for bubbles, indicating fermentation is happening.

5
Add Carbonated Water
After fermentation is complete, gently stir in 2 cups of carbonated water. This will help to add the desired fizziness.
6
Bottle the Seltzer
Using a funnel, pour the hard seltzer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal tightly with caps.
7
Chill and Serve
Place the bottles in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. Enjoy your Truly Hard Seltzer chilled!
