Making the Best
Homemade
Soda
Most people are
not aware that
they can make a
healthy soda in
the comfort of their own home.
Normally, they would rely on the
grocery store and pack up on big
bulky cans or bottles of soda for
their Sunday refreshment bar.
While you have a lot of choices to
choose from when it comes to
sodas, it isn’t nearly unlimited as
compared to how creative one can
be when one has the capacity to
flavor his own soda.
As they say, anything home-
made probably tastes better than
something bought at the store –
and when it comes to soda it isn’t
very different at all!
This e-book discusses the
concept of making the best home-
made soda using equipment readily
available in the market today
such as a soda siphon and
soda chargers.
Before going to the hard-
ware let’s look at the advantages
of going homemade on your
carbonated beverage. Generally,
when you make your own sodas it
would be better for your health.
Why? Because this allows
you to choose your own flavours;
therefore you can choose whole-
some, naturally sweet additives; a
nice break from high fructose
corn syrup.
While commercially made
soda would normally say “contains
real fruit juice”, homemade soda
since you dictate what is in it,
could be “100% REAL fruit juice.”
In fact, it would probably be rare
to encounter anyone without home
based soda making equipment who
could have tasted a carbonated
drink that contains only the es-
sentials - fruit juice, water and
CO2.
So now we can take a look
at the equipment. The two
essential tools used are the soda
siphon and soda chargers. The
siphon is a container that is
pressurized to help preserve the
CO2 content of the cold,
carbonated water in it. Chargers
are like small gas tanks that are
filled with carbon dioxide.
Learning how to use these two
simple pieces of equipment to-
gether with baking soda and selt-
zer already enable one to create
high quality, healthy and low cost
homemade soda!
But of course, this e-book
is not just about making home-
made soda; it is about making the
BEST homemade soda. Well, the
few little tips in this regard refer
to two essential factors: the
water and well-kept, high quality
equipment. The water used should
be distilled and free of any impu-
rities. This is because when water
is carbonated it becomes easier to
taste the impurities in the water
if there are any. As for the
the equipment, the key here to
always make sure you follow the
guidelines in the usage, upkeep
and storage of each tool. This is
found detailed in the user’s
manual. Also, make sure it is a high
quality product. Luckily, premium
soda making equipment is easy to
acquire in stores and online with a
good warranty.
Again, not many people are
aware that carbonated beverages
could be “homemade”. And in com-
parison to store bought sodas,
the best homemade sodas are
preferable because they are easy
to make, healthier, and you are
not limited in your creativity in
making them.
Adding Magic
to Food and
Beverages Using
Whipped Cream
Nothing is more
universal in making a
dish more heavenly
than whipped cream.
It can be used to instantly liven
up almost anything that is sweet.
If you want a creamier crepe, just
add it to the filling inside or use it
outside as a sumptuous garnish. A
cappuccino really isn’t one without
it being generously lathered to
the brim. Cakes and pies are just a
bit more tempting withsome melt-
ing cold whipped cream on top.
Pancakes are sometimes
served with whipped cream in-
stead of butter and a simple bowl
of mixed fruits can still be a
healthy dish with lots of sweet-
ened whipped cream.
This chapter will discuss
the different equipment used for
whipped cream and how it is done
professionally, some tips in making
the cream and how one can bring
this joy to his or her own home.
First off, whipped cream is
best made when N20 is dissolved
into the cream. This is done by
pressurizing cream either through
an industrial grade cream
dispenser or a cream whipper.
Either way, small canisters or
chargers of N20 are used with
the container in order to dissolve
the gas. This works very easily
because the gas easily dissolves
with the fat content of the
cream. This way, the whipped
cream achieves its best volume
and fluffiness. Professionally, this
is the best way to make whipped
cream that can be used on almost
anything. The other way of making
whip cream is to use the standard
manual whisk or an electric
whisker. This way is a bit less
efficient on the volume of the
cream and a bit more tiring and
time consuming than using the
dispenser and / or the whipper.
A few tips in making the
cream: the most essential being
that it is best to dissolve the
sugar and any other flavoring into
into the cream before dispensing
it in a pressurized container. This
way, the sweetness and flavor is
equally distributed and it does not
clog the cream dispensing equip-
ment mentioned above. Another
tip is to use high quality full
cream that is at least 28% fat
content to assure the N20 dis-
solves in it properly.
In fact, bringing the
process of making cream to one’s
own home is very easy and simple
to do. The aforementioned equip-
ment of the cream dispenser and
the cream whipper is readily
available online from reputable
companies. Just make sure that
the upkeep of the equipment is
well taken care of such as keeping
them clean and making sure they
are not clogged. A steady supply
of N20 cream chargers can also
be acquired from the same stores
that sell equipment and can be
replenished as needed. The
containers themselves look very
sleek and stylish and are quite
easy to use and to store.
All in all, whipped cream is a
wonderful ingredient; and fortu-
nately, it is easily within reach to
make by oneself. This is true
whether it is for professional
cafe use or for serving to one’s
family and other guests in the
household.
