Kefir and kombucha

[Guest guest]

Anyone here drink kefir? How about kombucha tea? Can you recommend

daily doses? And, if you buy kefir commercially, what brand is tasty?

 

Thanks,

I have used both, but had a hard time keeping

the cultures happening.

 

Kefir culture is pickier than yogurt and doesn't

like to get cold.

Mine worked great, with a friend's goat milk,

in hot weather in August and once the weather

cooled down it didn't.

 

Kombucha I only like when it is the first wonderful

fizzy glass fresh from the "mushroom".

The last time I had a culture I didn't treat it with

enough respect. I kept getting small bits of mold so I gave up. I might start again some time.

 

Please do not spend money on ready-made

products of either!

Splurge on a good culture and then save big time

making your own.

 

Forget the word: "dosage'!

These are FOODS, not medicine!

 

Sally Enig's wonderful book "Nourishing Traditions"

has a whole chapter on fermented foods.

 

If you only buy one cookbook in your life, get

that one!

 

Best wishes,

LOL! Thanks but I use the word " dose " for lots of stuff, like getting

my daily dose of milk.

 

But, yes, I am making my own with my own cultures.
