Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I buy the kombucha drink from the health store, the raw kind, would you mind sharing how you make it? I seen that the started could be bought but wondering if its very time consuming and also i heard about needing to boil the botttles to prevent the bad bacteria.

I have not had the need to put any mind or mood altering substances in my system for quite some time and the thought of possibly ingesting an alcohol based drink stopped me. Just my personal opinion on this, it's been over 18-years without having any alcohol and I treasure that, along with the fact that the claimed benefits could be achieved with alot of other substances. -- " Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I love kombucha! I drink some every other day, at least. I believe it has helpful to me, but I can't say exactly how, because I began drinking it at the same time I went raw. I love it. I have always liked fermented foods, except alcohol, funnily enough, so it took me awhile to get used to the taste. Some here don't do fermented foods (to each his own) but you really have to decide for yourself... kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm sure it must have been explained somewhere, but what is kombucha? Miso is fermented and I love miso.

It is not something to gulp down like water but more like taken like medicine. It is actually medicine and if treated like medicine it is very healthy for you. Formented foods like kombucha, miso, sauerkraut, kimchee ect are very important for a healthy diet. I do purchase store bought kombucha while traveling, however, the home made kind is very inexpensive to make and I like it better because I am free to experiment with the taste. The stostore bought one (GT Daves or Synergy)are very expensive ($3.30- $3.99 per 16oz) depending on where you buy it. I got a culture from a freind three years ago and kombucha has become a regular part of my diet since. For more information on how to make, get a starter culture and to learn the health benefits of kombucha go to http://www.kombu.de/english.htm You can also understand more about fermented foods from Ann Wigmore and Gabriel Cousens. regards, Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You feed it tea and sugar and it produces the liquid. Serve it in a stemmed glass and it is the nectar of the gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
