MINNEAPOLIS - Bacteria Bar & Naturally Carbonated Soda workshop

Sip your environment. The microorganisms, the minerals, the chemical compounds of a place and a plant that bring medicine into your body.

Wild yeasts in the air, present on the skins of fruit can be coaxed and fed by sugars to produce fizzy, delicious bubbles.

Edible Alchemy CoLaboratory‘s Bacteria Bar combines petals, spices, saps, fruits and roots to craft enticing and nourishing beverages. Traditionally fermented drinks are unique and have evolved in the regions they come from as a result of the methods and microbes that are used.

Edible Alchemy CoLaboratory will guide you into the microbial universe through hands-on experience and animated discussion. Using yeasts in the air and starter cultures like water kefir grains or kombucha SCOBYs (a mix of cultures of bacteria and yeast), participants will learn how to transform their favourite fruits and flavours into fizzy drinks.

You will leave this evening with your own probiotic (full of life) creation and the skills to transform your edible surroundings into delicious, nutritious fermented foods. Taste naturally sparkling elixirs and make your own to bring home.

Diversity and flavour abounds!
