      Having Littles is hard, if we take the time to slow down and teach them, soon they will become the BIG help that we need. But that in of itself is sooo hard. We are often times way too distracted with many things in life that would take our time away from doing homestead like things like the things in their videos .

    I ordered a starter kit from cultures for health around 2 weeks ago and my kids (ages 1, 5, and 17) love the kombucha. I flavor it with blueberries and vanilla for the second ferment. Now if I could get my husband to give up Pepsi for kombucha it would be a total win. Thanks so much for the video. I would love to hear/see some other flavor combinations.

  • @karenw9996
    @karenw9996 Před 2 lety +5

    I''m not a fan of carbonation/effervescence, so I drink shrub that I learned how to make on Off Grid with Doug & Stacy. Apparently, that can also be mixed with sparkling mineral water to make a "soda replacement", but I'll just be using my usual filtered tap water. I'll have to tell my sister about this though - I bet her grandkids might like a special drink, and I know she'll like them not having soda.

    Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing! I usually 2nd ferment with squeezed ginger slices, squeezed lemon juice & about 1/2 tsp. Demerara sugar. It tastes a lot like ginger ale but much healthier. I used fresh pineapple once & it fermented so fast that a couple of my bottles exploded! Fresh fruit needs less time at room temperature, I’ve found☺️

    You seems to have a relaxed disposition, which makes em think you have great schedules.
    Did you come from a big family, or did you have to figure out how to manage yours from scratch on your own?

    Hi there! I just made my first batch of kombucha with your help! Question, can you add freeze dried banana and strawberries to a second ferment?

      Never mind! I just watched it again and you say it can be any fruit! :-) Thank you!

    How do you keep your spout from getting clogged up? I'm guessing a tiny Scooby pellicles grows in mine, making it terribly hard to bust through. Any advice??

    Where did you find your continuous brew vessel?

    For almost 2 years I made 60 bottles of kombucha a month and sold it to friends to help support my son who was on the mission field. I used all kinds of flavors, strawberry, blueberries, mangoes and ginger were some of the favorites. I was convinced that it was a very healthy drink until I did research and found out that it is absolute death of the diabetics which I am one. Very very high in carbohydrates and very very high in sugar. Just because the bacteria eats the sugar doesn’t mean that the sugar goes away. I really miss drinking that particular drink it was so yummy and fizzy!!!

      @@donnastormer9652 sorry, no way can drinking all that sugar be healthy. Hint hint. Not good for diabetes? Translates into not healthy for humans. Sugar on top of sugar on top of fructose from those cherries. It’s ok, keep believing what you believe.

      @@nobodyreally8441 Everything in moderation. She said to take just a couple ounces at meal time. No one, not even diabetics can cut out ALL sugar from their diet. THAT'S unhealthy. If they did, they wouldn't be able to eat any fruit, root vegetables or a myriad of other things. Diabetes care is about REGULATING your blood sugars. Before passing comment like you're the definitive authority on something, how's about you actually do some research and while you're at it, apologise to Donna. She IS diabetic. She was very kind to point it out at all.

      @@a.b.9707 I think you need to do your research. You can cut out almost all carbs AND it is very healthy to do so!!! I’ve lived on 20 or less carbs a day for four years and never felt better in my entire life ( I’m 59). People DO NOT need carbs. Your diabetes would probably improve if you eliminated carbs from your diet. Please watch Dr Ken Berry’s videos and you can thank me later.
