kombucha


doug and madeline loooove kombucha. i think it's great they want to drink it as i know it is super beneficial for gut health and tastes good too. 9i don't mind the taste, the smell is something i need to get used to though.) it is soooooo expensive to buy though, so that was a big fat no from me... and i also wasn't keen as i know it's generally made from black tea. no thanks.

so i got the surprise of a lifetime when vistiting my sister in law donna and she offered me some. turns out she makes her own, with rooibis tea, so the black tea issue is over and done with. she gave me a scoby (the brewing piece) and i decided to give it a go. happy days... my first batch worked and both madeline and doug gave it the thumbs up of approval. hooray!

it's an ongoing mix as long as you "feed" it once a week, so looks like we will have plenty in the future. i got my instructions from here, which even had an instructional video (and you can even try your hand at growing your own scoby if you follow the instructions here.) and they worked great. thank goodness for the internet.
