Kombucha & Thai tea --Cleansing drinks/broths

March 14, 2006

Hi Paula,

Thanks for the kombucha information. I just now saw this thread so I didn't

get to look for it at the store. I did just read a bit on it and it sounds

very interesting. I'm going to put it on my list for next time. Thank you.

I did get some herbal tea and a bag of thai tea as well. I'm not sure if

Thai tea helps with anything but I did see some interesting Thai tea recipes

recently and decided to go for it. Interesting that the package states that

it is a " Thai tea mix " however the only two ingredients seem to be " green

tea " and some of what seems to be a coloring of some sort ( " yellow "

something I believe).

Oh, btw, I'm going to have to try that nutritional yeast trick as a topping

to popcorn. That sounds good. I've only purchased the bulk bin type so I

can't compare on flavorings. If you find something different and new as

Mark and Elite mentioned, please let us know. Thanks.
