Finished Candy...

It's all done and ready to go to Tim's :)

Blessings,

Candy...

I offered and Tim readily accepted it... Making Kombucha Candy... He loves it. I love the smell of the candy in the dehydrator...

It's a lovely bit of home while he's not here...

Blessings,

Four full trays from one SCOBY...

Candy...

Tim loves it... Kombucha Candy... Made some for him Saturday night... He even ate half a tray straight out of the dehydrator before it was even done...

So good for ya!

Blessings,

Sharing probiotics...

Met a lovely couple at the conference last week and they are both Doctors. The lady was very interested in probiotics and gut health.

I offered to send her some of all the probiotics that I have... So, that's what I did yesterday, with instructions.

So fun to share ;)

Blessings,

Milk Kefir...

Water Kefir...

Kombucha...

Kombucha Candy...

Made more tea today in order to add to my container... Had one huge Mother and needed to get it out of the container... Took three goes but I ended up getting it out :)

Cut it up. Coated in a little sugar. Put it on the stove. Placed into dehydrator... Now to wait till tomorrow for Tim to devour the four trays hehe... Love probiotics! So good. So cheap doing it at home...

Blessings,

More tea brewing...

Cutting up the Kombucha Mother...

On the stove...

In the dehydrator, turning into candy...

Candy...

That time again...

This Kombucha mother was soooo thick. I ended up having to tear it so I could get it out of the jar...  Four layers of Candy made, of which Tim will probably have most of it ;)

Yummy... Love the smell... Love the taste...

Blessings,

New Kombucha Container...

Been looking for over a month. My other container got a large crack at the tap. It started to leak, ever so slightly. So glad it wasn't a flood!

Anyway, I found a new container in Toowoomba last week! Took five goes but finally found one that didn't have sharp edges or cracks around the tap.

When I got it home, I also realised that this container was allot bigger than my last one! This one is 7 litres and the other was 4 litres. Good excuse to make up some more tea :)

I let the tea cool overnight and added it to the rest and left it to settle... Brewing nicely as I write :)

I love it how it works... Take a SCOBY or mushroom, add it and some original liquid to sweet black tea, put into a glass container and let sit out of sunlight for a week. Then consume, slowly to begin with and diluted with juice, if wanted. Top up container as needed. Tim still loves the Kombucha Candy I make. Great way of getting rid of extras also ;)

Blessings,

Candy is done...

End result... A hit once again ;)

Blessings,

Kombucha Candy...

Haven't made it for a while and Tim was eyeing the fat SCOBIES! So this morning, I got to cut a whole heap up and turn them into Candy. 'Twas a lovely smell for him to wake up to :) 3 1/2 trays should keep him out of mischief for a little while :) It will be done late today hopefully...

Blessings, 

What the???

One SCOBY is huge and ready to be made into candy... The other just ain't growing! And these were made up on the same day, like seven weeks ago!

Hurry up please...

Blessings,

Kombucha Candy...

Saw this on another site and thought I'd give it a try...

All I had to do was cut the SCOBYS into small pieces, cover in sugar and boil on the stove for 15 minutes. 

Have now put all the pieces into the dehydrator and ended up with four trays full. Hopefully, they'll be done in the morning, as the boys are really wanting to try them. 

Might even take some to work and see how others like it too :)

Blessings,

Give away...

I asked around, I rang people, I put it in the local newsletter... I had about 20 Kombucha SCOBYS to give to new homes, for free... Came with instructions too!

Any bites??? One and that didn't pan out either... Can't even give this fantastic probiotic away... Shakes head, not understanding why...

Blessings,

Continues KT brew...

Went for a 5 litre glass container with a tap. I started it this morning...

The other jar is now brewing some cleaning vinegar for me :) Will see how it goes. Want to use some for my hair and start using my SCOBIES on my skin too... So many uses... Am loving discovering them all :)

Blessings,

KT Hotel...

My main batch of Kombucha Tea is made up in a 3 litre glass jar... My second jar is my Hotel. I have four Scobies on holidays there! They're are there for friends that may want one or for further KT fermenting for a month to get vinegar. Can't wait to see how it cleans!

Think I need more 3 litre jars to make more hehe...

Think I'm gonna run out of bench space, may need to go vertical hehe!

Blessings,

Actual KT to drink :)

This Kombucha Tea was my second ferment. I tasted it today and after four days it was just right...

Decanted it into plastic bottles at first then changed to glass bottles. Had some with dinner and I'm in love... Will have it for brekkie time in the future, so it doesn't keep me up. Hope my stash lasts till my next batch is done. 

That and Milk Kefir should give my family and I a good amount of varying probiotics, which I'm soooo thankful for!

Blessings,

Kombucha...

I finally relented... I've made my first batch... Now just have to wait. Something, I'm learning to do...

I decided to stop making water kefir for a while... I have spare grains frozen and dehydrated, if I want to go back to it at any time...

Kombucha is a more relaxed and easier process. I'm looking forward to seeing how long it takes. Can't wait to taste it. Hopefully, no explosions though ;)

Blessings,
