Fizzy Plant Potions!

Let’s talk sodas.

But not the syrupy, neon-colored kind you drank as a kid that lit up your brain and crashed your body.

We’re talking the fun, alchemical, homemade, healthy kind—what I like to call fizzy plant potions.

These are essential oil–infused sodas you can craft at home with just a few ingredients, a dash of curiosity, and a love for experimenting with nature’s most vibrant flavors and scents.

Whether you’re making a bubbly treat for yourself, looking for a fun kitchen project with kids, or simply wanting a clean, uplifting alternative to commercial drinks—this is one of my favorite simple pleasures in life.

What Is Fuzzy Water?

Fuzzy water is my playful name for homemade soda—purified sparkling water (extra points credit for structured water) infused with organic or wildcrafted essential oils and sweetened naturally to taste. These drinks are surprisingly easy to make and endlessly customizable.

You can think of it as your own personal potion bar. 😄

How to Make Fizzy Plant Potions

Here’s the basic formula:

1. Carbonate your purified water. I use a SodaStream, but any sparkling water will work.  Start with the highest quality, purified water – I typically use structured distilled water, or spring water.

2. Transfer carbonated water to a glass jar. Always use glass, not plastic. Essential oils can degrade plastic over time and you don’t want that in your drink.

3. Add your essential oil. Start with 1 drop per 8–16 oz of water, depending on the oil and your taste. You can go even lighter with up to 32 oz for stronger oils.

4. Sweeten to taste. Some of my go-to sweeteners:

• Local raw honey 🍯
• Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit)
• Fascial Release aminos (yes, really—they’re surprisingly good in beverages)
• And that’s it! From there, you’re free to experiment with flavors, moods, and vibes.

Essential Oils to Try

Let the potion-making begin. Here are some of my favorite oils (and blends) to try in your fizzy creations:

🌸 Ylang Ylang — aka “Horny Water”

This sweet, floral oil is known to support emotional balance and enhance libido. After a few days in a row, you might notice a shift in desire. I’ve lovingly nicknamed this one horny water for a reason.

💕Sensation Blend

If you want to take the Ylang Ylang experience further, Sensation is a blend that highlights it beautifully—making a delicious, sensual little fizzy treat.

🍊Bitter Orange

Mood-boosting and bright, this one has a euphoric effect when used more strongly. Word of caution: Don’t drive right after sipping a potent glass of this. You might just want to lay in the grass and smile at the sky, or giggle and cuddle with a loved one.

🌿Spearmint

Refreshing, cooling, and super clean—like mint soda without the chemicals or fake green coloring. It’s perfect for a summer afternoon or a post-meal palate cleanser.

Bonus Tips

• Label your creations. Use stickers or tape to label your potions, or draw directly on the lid: “Eros Elixir,” “Sunbeam Fizz,” “Mint Muse,” etc.

• Want more health benefits?  Structure your water (I’ve used UMH for the past 10 years), add monoatomic gold, ORMUS, bioavailable minerals, Double Helix Water or potable Oil of Gold.
• Double up your effects!  Add your favorite Ultrasonic Tinctures such as Saffron for a beverage of liquid sunshine to raise your mood, Kanna or Tantric Trilogy to party without a major hangover, Skullcap for concentration and relaxation, or Tulsi to wind down with a tasty and easeful drink.

• Make it a ritual. Crafting these drinks can become a daily practice of play, presence, and pleasure.

• Invite others in. Share your favorite recipes, or better yet, invent your own and send them my way—I’d love to try your blend!

(Note: Be sure to only use organic / wildcrafted essential oils that are safe for internal use.  Do not use essential oils from plants which may be toxic when ingested)

Final Sip

There’s something deeply satisfying about crafting your own fizzy, plant-powered sodas. It’s like being a playful child and a wizard at the same time—playful, creative, and nourishing.

Try it out. Let your taste buds lead the way. And if you stumble upon a flavor masterpiece, send it over—I’m always looking to expand my fizzy potion collection.

To fun & fizz,
