Celery Soda – Take The Leap!
Celery Soda is definitely an acquired taste. Though, not too difficult to acquire. I think the biggest obstacle is equating the stalk with the drink. We already use celery in our juicers creating health drinks made from a concoction of fruits and vegetables. So creating soda pop from celery shouldn’t be too great a leap of faith!
As far as I know, th
e only manufacturer of celery soda, spelled Cel-Ray, in the northeast United States is Dr. Brown’s. This has been my favorite for years. But, living in the Hudson Valley, I can only find it at limited locations. Stop and Shop happens to be one of them.
We’ve recently become owners and fans of the SodaStream soda maker. This home carbonating system is perfect for the everyday soda drinker who enjoys fresh soda without the hassle of buying, storing and returning bottles.
While SodaStream has a fantastic assortment of soda flavors, they don’t have Celery Soda. We’ve adapted Alton Brown’s Celery Soda recipe for newbies. We suggest you go with the lighter version here if you want to try some celery soda for yourself. If you want a full strength celery soda, please use 1 tablespoon of freshly ground celery seed. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 tablespoon freshly ground celery seed
- SodaStream Soda water
Directions
Place the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to combine. Continue to stir frequently until all of the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the celery seed, cover and allow to steep for 1 hour. Strain using a fine mesh strainer into a heat-proof container. Place in the refrigerator, uncovered, until completely cool. Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator and store for up to 6 months.
To use, add 8.5 tablespoons of syrup to 1 liter SodaStream carbonated water. We like to use little plastic squirt bottles you can find at kitchen supply stores
