For the past two weeks, many readers have been finding our posts about living with a Soda Stream Seltzer Maker.
A favorite seems to be Flavor Your Home-Made Seltzer. So, we thought we would spotlight that one, for those who missed it, and do an update with Penny’s new favorite flavors.
Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters is currently leading the pack as the flavor du jour. A couple of shakes of this lovely concoction will flavor a tall glass with just a hint of sweet/tart balance.
And, of course, delicious little clementines can add a dash of taste in so many ways. You can drop a couple of segments in the glass, strip off some zest and drop that in, or cut one in half and squeeze in the juice.
