Freshtopia.net - Sparkle Motion

08:47 | Oscar Grimm | Aug 22nd, 2007 12:42pm |

Never doubt our commitment to sparkle motion!

Our house had a problem; we all loved sparkling water, but hated the wasteful plastic packaging and crazy cost. Americans drink more than 55 billion liters of soda and seltzer every year, which means over 3 billion cubic feet of packaging ends up in recycling facilities or worse, landfills! We were determined not to be those consumers any more.

After doing some research, Barb determined that the answer to our sparkling dreams was a home carbonating unit with reusable bottles… and also that there’s some sort of inexplicable connection between sparkling water and yachts. For more information on our Edition One soda machine, visit SodaClub.

Even if you don’t have a yacht, why not celebrate the blushing finale of peach season with a fresh white peach Bellini?

White Peach Bellini
Serves 2-4
1 large white peach
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 raspberries, plus additional for garnish
Agave to taste
Sparkling water

Remove the pit and chop the peach, then blend until smooth along with the lemon juice, raspberries and sweetener if using. Divide among 2-4 glasses, garnish with 1 or 2 whole raspberries and top with sparkling water, stirring gently.

Cheers!
