RE: The History of Kombucha (Growing Fake Leather Part 2)

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

I do have the hipsters to thank (mostly Whole Foods Market) for my first exposure to kombucha- but Ive also had some strong home made stuff too that was stunning, Id love to incorporate it into my diet more regularly- maybe I can start with small batches :) what do you think about the kits out there? waste of money?

Sort:  

Hmm kit how? As in you get everything in one box? That really shouldn't be necessary. If you know someone who brews it, just get a scoby and some kombucha from them, and then add it to some sweet tea :)
Or if you don't you might be able to find some organic kombucha in a health store, that should work as well. If it still has a live colony, it should start growing a new scoby quite fast, if you add it to sweet tea :)

Aah, yes i heard friends back in the day talking about "the mother" quite ominous and borg sounding haha hmm will do more research for sure :)

Yup, that is the mother :) It is quite alien looking, so the ominous name is pretty fitting xD

Although i've heard of people making fruit roll ups from it, i might just try that myself :P
