Kombucha, the effervescent and tangy health drink made from fermenting sweetened tea, is my family’s favorite beverage. We drink about 2 gallons of the stuff per week. But what if you’re a lone wolf, daring to make kombucha on your own? Where are you supposed to get a good SCOBY? The most reputable online stores charge anywhere from $20-$35 per kombucha mother. YIKES! So, I thought I’d show you how to grow your own for about $3.50.
Organic Is Not Enough
Organic food. It sounds so safe. So wholesome. So good for the environment. So good for our health. Doesn’t it? At least until you realize that the Texas and Georgia peanut plants that were sending out salmonella riddled peanut butter also had federal organic certification.
