#scoby

1 post1 participant0 posts today
The first kombucha is delicious but very strong, and only this much made it to the fridge.

Is the daughter a mother now that I have harvested kombucha? I guess only when she has given her own daughter. So now I have a teenage scoby or something like that, starting to grow into the next size jar.

I believe the more beings you have in your household that grow at their own pace and with organic changing care needs, you learn to rest in their rhythm, in cyclical times you cannot and are not expected to control. You learn to surrender in entanglements of nourishment. I believe this is decolonizing time. Paying attention beyond yourself and observing all the real times there are.

So I was just getting started with #kombucha yesterday and today, two different 1gal batches. I was wondering what to do with the mother #scoby later when it started to be weaker. Well I learned that you can actually make it into a sort of #bacon. You can also #eat it in all sorts of ways. It's #gummy when fresh and #tasty and #sweet. So there's a bunch of ways to eat it for us non meat eaters. The stuff is basically #protein from what I understand. Would this be #vegan? It's a living organism..

I recently heard Stuff you should know's podcast episode about #kombucha (stuffyoushouldknow.com/episode) and thought this sounds like a drink I would enjoy. A bit of research and all of a sudden I owned a #scoby and a couple of flip-top bottles 😂 Just enjoying the first attempt after a second #fermentation with oranges and cinnamon. What a nice fizzy drink this is 😋 If anyone has recommendations or sources for other recipes to try, please post them below.

New (symbiotic combination of bacteria-yeast) looking good. Ready to use it for a new batch of .

I tried drinking the scoby liquid once. First two swallows seemed OK. But the vinegary aspect became too much by the third sip. 😬
