"Fermentation produces fantastic non-alcoholic drinks: imagine a refreshingly tart kombucha, a thirst-quenching water kefir or an earthy beet kvass. Each with a complex and surprising taste and fizz due to their healthy bacteria. With their natural effervescence and slightly yeasty flavour, fermented drinks are a fine alternative to wine or beer. This book tells you everything you need to know to brew these healthy, alcohol-free beverages yourself. You will find user-friendly recipes with step-by-step illustrations, bite-sized nuggets on the science of the fermentation process, and juicy anecdotes about the origin of these remarkable drinks."--Back cover.
