Does anyone here have any knowledge or expertise in the use of volatile/essential oils in the making of soda? Specifically I'm trying to impart ginger flavor into a soda without actually buying fresh ginger and juicing it or grating and steeping. I've read about people who claim they use "distilled ginger oils," (aka: essential oil of ginger) in their soda but can't figure out how you would mix the oil with the carbonated water base. I've also seen ginger extracts for sale which, as far as I can tell, are just the essential oil of ginger dissolved in an ethyl alcohol base. This also doesn't seem appropriate for soda since you'd think the alcohol would throw off the flavor. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
