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.
