First of all the first three or four days you have to let it sit with only a cloth covering it while stirring it occassionally. Every time I would stir it, I was worried it was turning bad. It didn't smell bad but I had never made anything like this before so I didn't understand the process. The final day, you strain and pour into an airtight or tightly corked bottle or bottles. So I managed to fit it all in a really large green glass bottle that I found at Marshall's. After about a week, today, I decided to see if it was finished. I was shocked when I heard a pop! and then saw all the bubbles. My son wanted to taste it first, so we poured it in a little glass and just looked at the carbonation. I'm so amazed by this process. And the flavor is wonderful! It has a lemony flavor and is quite pleasant.
So I think I will definitely be making more and I encourage you to try this as well while the dandelions are out and among us. Such a fun project and such a delicious beverage!
