making a new favorite...Coconut Kombucha

I made a new favorite Kombucha, no really!!! I made coconut kombucha from the coconut cream tea I bought at the Ohio Tea Company.  I added a little hibiscus for a hint of fruit flavor.  It is some hibiscus I got in the market in Guinea Africa.

I absolutely love this coconut tea warm and I love it in the kombucha!

If you want a tea with a great coconut flavor, this is the tea for you!,,

 I found this amazing spoon in Columbus at a kitchen store.  I use it when I want to add a hint of loose leaf tea to my kombucha...and I don't want to put it in a bag.  It is a lot less hassle and it holds more loose leaf tea.  In this case I added hibiscus into my coconut kombucha.

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 komucha.

Higgins & Burke Chai for the Keurig

 

This is a good Chai from the Keurig- BUT.... I do recommend adding some milk after it is brewed. I like the taste and it cools it down so I can drink it sooner.

 

I have to admit I've not been overly pleased with tea pods from Keurigs. I think maybe because I'm not a fan of most bagged tea when I can have loose leaf tea... and the Keurig is even more broke down then bagged tea.  The Keurig info-mmercical went on and on how they work to make coffee taste just like you would in the store.  They used Starbucks as an example, they went on and on about the process to make it taste the same in your home as in the store.  I can say that the tea in the Keurig has been NOTHING like the tea in the store.  I'm finding some tea have Stevia  added to them, when the original does not... and I can't stand the Stevia aftertaste. I'll keep trying- but so far tea in the Keurig has been a miss for me.  Maybe they'll read this and offer me a job to help perfect the tea process!!
