Homer Simpson: [at top of pyramid] I hate this place! WHY AM I HERE?

Coyote: You are on a quest for knowledge.

Homer Simpson: Who said that?
⠀
Coyote: Fear not Homer. I am your spirit guide.

Homer Simpson: Hiya.

Those of you who are a fan of the ALT mylk market, might recognise the all too familiar red and yellow logo of one of the best Soy mylk’s on there on the market.
⠀
Yes you did read this right… This is Organic Sparkling Coconut water made by Bonsoy.
⠀
Finding this could not have come at a better time for me in the quest to creating my own “small batch, artisanal, home brewed coffee soda” (if anyone can add more buzz words to that please let me know)
⠀
This drink is not something I would not usually buy, purely from the fact that it just seems like a faux pas to add crisp sparkling bubbles to the velvety smooth texture we all know and love of coconut water.
⠀
So being the brand loyal consumer that I am, I decided to buy this purely on the brand name sake just to try and say “well that’s a thing”.
⠀
Bonsoy once again you have not let me down! This drink was very intriguing from the first sip. Sparkling smooth but tart sweetness with bubbles of awesome… I really don’t know how to describe it other than inspiring.
⠀
Inspiring? The ingredient list on this drink is very simple and to the point, “Coconut Water and Sparking water” and that’s it... Wow inspiring (slow clap)…
⠀
One things that has really thrown me on the path of making coffee soda, is that the processes that I have had to endure just to produce and okish tasting “soda” drink.
⠀
So I’m using this inspiration to look at my processes and strip back what I think may not be needed in making my drink. Maybe some of the steps are adding more trouble then good, Or maybe they are needed… I dont know?
⠀
But at least I am inspired to try new things and stay on my quest.
