When we host holiday parties and get-togethers, I always like to make something special to drink: mulled wine<\/a> and traditional wassail<\/a> are favorites.  Cranberry Mors<\/a> is nice, and so is Cinnamon Spice Kombucha<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also like this homemade Cranberry Orange Water Kefir Soda, which is at once tart and slightly sweet with a delicate fizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's Water Kefir?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water kefir is a cultured drink that is rich in good-for-your-gut beneficial bacteria, and one that is naturally fizzy like a homemade soda.  It begins first by culturing the grains in sugar water (don't worry, the sugar's not for you; rather it's food for all those beneficial bacteria), and then mixing the resulting water kefir with fruit juice for flavoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you have a drink that's pleasantly sweet and sour with a natural fizz.  Even better? It's also loaded with gut-friendly bacteria just like yogurt or sauerkraut<\/p>\n\n\n
