Directions
  1. Mix all ingredients together, then refrigerate until well-chilled. Also refrigerate the liter-sized iSi canister.
  2. Add the chilled liquid batch to the canister, charge it with one CO2 cartridge, then shake vigorously.
  3. Allow the mix to rest for 20 minutes, then charge with another CO2 cartridge and shake a couple of times.
  4. Rest in the refrigerator for as long as possible—at least 20 minutes—then de-gas the canister by pressing the trigger valve to boil off the CO2.
