Place bottles in a warm area, 75 to 85°F, for 3 to 4 days. Check carbonation. If carbonation is satisfactory, place in refrigerator to stop carbonation process and to chill the drink. If carbonation is not yet satisfactory, allow to sit in a warm area for another day or two, check carbonation, and if okay, chill.

*If you are wondering why there is a need for sugar, the answer is simple. Carbonation is achieved when the yeast turns the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fortunately, due to the low sugar content and the short carbonation period, the beverage will have virtually no alcohol and lots of bubbles. Also, the yeast will consume the sugar during the process of carbonating the water. Since stevia is not a sugar, the yeast will ignore it and when all of the sugar is consumed, the yeast will die off.
