It all started when I became addicted to Kombucha. I started to drink G.T's Kombucha because of the health benefits, not really the taste. All that changed when I found myself not only drinking Kombucha for its health benefits but stocking up on the stuff for the taste. My grocery stores shelf's are literally getting bare from me! Its not my fault I have nearly wiped them clean - blame kombucha. I mean, I am hooked to the stuff! Reflecting back on the first Kombucha I have ever had - which was the green chlorella version, I hated it. In fact I thought Kombucha was disgusting but I drank it for the health benefits, I didn't care about the taste. However trying some of the other flavors of G.T's I was hooked. Gingerberry. Trilogy, lavender; they were growing on me and I started to start my day off with them. I was feeling more alert and ready to conquer the day, it gave me a health buzz that I have never quite seen.
All that said, I have decided to brew my own Kombucha, not only for the health benefits but for the taste, which I have grown to love. So why didn't I go all on out, since I have brewed things in the past you might ask? Simple, I have never brewed kombucha before and I want to maximize the success, I can always brew bigger batches in my 5 gallon carboys later. So I decided to do what every amateur would do, buy a kit right? That is exactly what I have done.
This kit includes:
The glass jar (1 gallon)
Temperature strip
Organic teas (white, black, green blend)
Organic cane sugar
A set of lovely instructions
A place to "claim" your free scoby
Note: I have also been told that you can use a bottle of original G.T's Kombucha (Thanks Lissa!!) - In which I have picked up in-case of dismal failure on my part. We will see what the foreseeable future has in store. Fingers crossed lady's and gentlemen. :) More to come in the next post...
