Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mixing Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Adding Yeast

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of yeast over the water and sugar mixture. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Flavoring

  1. 3

    Incorporate Lemon Juice

    After the yeast has activated, add 1 cup of lemon juice to the mixture and stir well.

  2. 4

    Add Fresh Fruit

    Mash 2 cups of fresh fruit of your choice (e.g., strawberries, peaches, or limes) and add it to the mixture. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 5

    Add Natural Flavors

Fermentation

  1. 6

    Fermenting the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 24-48 hours. The mixture will begin to ferment and bubble.
