Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. -- Brad Henry

Kombucha

"Kombucha"
Tea fermented using a symbiosis of bacteria and yeast


Since our oldest is into vegan and organic foods, this drink appealed to her.  Although it's a fermenting processes, it's "much" different than beer or wine, and according to her, better for you.  I'll leave that up to viewers to decide.


The process involves taking brewed tea and adding a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) from another kombucha.  Then they let it sit covered in a dark place until the SCOBY forms a thick layer on top.  You then filter out the SCOBY and drink it.  None for me, thanks.  I'll stick to beer.
