March Class Feature - Making Kombucha at Home



Making Kombucha at Home

Saturday, March 11
11:30–1pm

Healthy bacteria and probiotics are essential for optimal health and kombucha, a traditional fermented tea drink, has an abundance of both! Join Julie the founder of Oly-Cultures and learn to make kombucha, an effervescent drink, at home. After exploring which teas and sugars work best with kombucha, students will be shown how to create the first batch. As that brew develops and the second fermentation begins, Julie will discuss bottling, storage of the Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY), offer tips for customizing kombucha with natural flavors, and share several tasty samples with students. Stop spending a small fortune on your kombucha habit and learn to make your own in this popular class.

Did you know that 70% of our immune system takes place in our gut? Therefore, keeping a healthy digestive system is very important. Healthy bacteria and probiotics in our diet are vital to achieving this balance. Kombucha has an abundance of both probiotics and the healthy bacteria.
