Kombucha

Today is the day to make Kombucha tea.  I normally use a basic black tea however I am feeling a bit adventurous so I am going to brew some green tea and some rooibos tea..  Not sure how these will turn out but since I have some baby scobies I don't mind testing...

One of my little babies.... My newest scoby named Hank...

I have a batch that is ready for a second ferment..  I am going to add  apples and cinnamon to two of them and maybe apple/cherry to the other two.... 

ooooooooo...  These are going to be so yummy.. The 2 on the left are apples and cinnamon. The 2 on the right are cherries, apples and pineapple...  4 days and they will be ready to consume..

For those of you that do not know what Kombucha is...  Check out this website for more information...MrKate 

I love how they give instructions on how to flavor the booch...  I am a big one on flavoring due to the strong flavor without it..  To pungent for me..  I do on occasion like a bottle of straight up booch, but strawberry mint is by far my favorite..

I have adjusted my recipes to adapt to smaller jars.. I do not drink as much as most so I find it easier to make it so that I have a mason jar ready every other day..

Some of my favorite Kombucha sites:

I have been getting a bit to many scobies so I have decided that when I get a few extras again I am going to make some doggies treats instead of just throwing them out..
