A week into our first batch of kombucha which is basically fermented tea. Once it’s done fermenting you take the mushroom off the top and put it in another container with some of the tea, and put the fermented tea in the fridge. kombucha is a very good for your digestive system and is a great way to get some of those healthy probiotics. I’m excited to try it. We used Mango black tea but you can use any kind of tea, and there are tons of recipes out there, you just have to find someone with a “mother” so you can start your own. It’s very expensive to buy in the store, and I’m sure they legally have to kill most of the good bacteria before they sell it to you so it seems a little pointless to buy it from the store ;)

Here’s a picture of our kombucha after about six days fermenting. Very exciting, should be ready in a few more days. I’m definitely not an expert yet so I’ll not be posting detailed instructions until I have a little more experience under my belt :)
