kombucha tea

[Ice Cream]

anyone make it?
I bought a bottle today. It's in the fridge.

[diablita]

I don't want to yuck your yum...

I do not like it, DD LOVES it and a girl in her class' mom makes kombucha for a living and is very successful. They sell it at local restaurants and Whole Foods and other markets. The children have it at every school event, the mom brings a keg.  It is just not for me.

[Ice Cream]

I tried a sample at whole foods a while ago and did not like it. I bought this one out of curiosity, because it is flavored.
I anticipate I will not like it, either.

[merigayle]

Yeah, it is either your jam or not. It is not mine.

Not something I am a fan of but I know people who LOVE it!

[Ice Cream]

actually, this bottle is quite good.
but Mayo clinic's site indicates that the "health benefits" are doubtful.

Is this the thing where you have a giant fungus (or is it bacteria? yeast? something like that) making juice in your fridge? I vaguely remember doing that in the 90's and that the juice tasted vaguely like apple juice.

You can be shot for not knowing what kombucha is here.  As it is, I have to hide my distaste for it at gatherings.  Especially when the host(ess) makes a homebrew version.

Yes, it's tea that's fermented by bacteria/yeast.  And I think it has a decent amount of sugar in it to feed the yeast.

This falls under the category of weird stuff my hippy parents & their friends were into in the 80's & 90's and is weirdly mainstream. Next you'll be trying to convince me to eat carob cupcakes in place of chocolate,  for no discernible reason.

I like some Kombucha.  Mostly, I like the way the word sounds.

[Magic Microbe]

The microbial/fungal stuff going on in it is fascinating. It requires both!

Actually, 2 days ago a homesteading, gluten-freeing, homebrewing friend posted about being off chocolate but eating some carob.  Her DH has the most lush beard you will ever see.  So it's only a matter of time...

I wasn't trying to convince you...  but apparently kombucha is the cure for everything.  Might help your eye problem.

Same thing here. I don't think I would trust someone's home-made kombucha.  But I do not even trust baked goodies at bake sales.

I heard that a diet consisting only of kombucha and carob keeps all infections away.

But only if you add apple cider vinegar and a splash of honey.

I think kombucha is gross.

I think you actually need to bathe in the apple cider vinegar.
