I am loving my homemade Kombucha!!!! I drink at least a bottle a day!
Are you making Kombucha? I am and I am loving it!!! It is so fun to play with flavors. I was making 6 gallons a week....now, I am making only 3. Three is enough to drink and pass out to friends. If you are in my area and want me to teach you how to make it, let me know!!!
Making the 3 gallons of tea. Sugar, black tea and flavored black tea. Let it come to a boil and then cool.
This is the F1 process. Once the tea I cooled, I add it to the "scoby/mother" with a cup of starter. I then it ferment under the towels for 7-10 days. It really depends on the weather in the house. The warmer my house, the quicker the process goes.
I then add organic apple juice to the bottles and I let it sit for another 7 days. This is the F2 process...
once completed it's good a month in the fridge
They say Kombucha has lots of anti-microbial powers and is full antioxidants, it helps sooth ulcers and improves the function of your pancreas. Helps with your digestion and arthritis. It supports your liver. It improves your mood. it helps you loose weight. It helps you detoxify ... This one I can say is true! I have one friend who calls it her "poop juice". I can say I've never been so regular myself!!! It also reduces the risk of heart disease and they say prevents cancer. also lots of nutrition. Helps with your good cholesterol. Boosts immunity. Treats type 2 diabetes too. I can't say that you will have all these changes or experience any of these benefits.... I'm just listing some of the things they say about Kombucha.
