Eco-Savvy Soda
Wanna know a secret? I love soda. Always have, always will. There’s just something about bubbles and sugar that go so great together!
Still, my addiction to soda is not one that I’m proud of…it’s not healthy, it’s not green, and in most cases it’s usually a planet-trashing mess. Until now.
Chef Michael Wurster of New York City’s restaurant has recently launched a Green Brunch that features, among other yummy eco-fare, a variety of organic, natural flavored sodas and waters all prepared in the restaurant’s kitchen and stored in reusable glass bottles. And guess what…Chef Wurster is sharing the recipes for these yummy eco-sodas with The Green Parent!
Now I can have my soda and drink it too! Enjoy Green Parents…I know I will!
