Freecycle: Kombucha babies

I'm not sure if anyone on here will be interested, but I have 4 babies that need homes. It's very easy to brew your own Kombucha tea, and it's better than paying £3 a pint for it in a health food shop.

I also have a few extra bottles of the stuff if you want to try some, the batch I have now is slightly licorice-ish.

Collect from SW2, SE14 or South drinks.

totally confused

They are a kind of yeast/mushroom culture that ferments tea, it's supposed to be good for your liver, I just think that having extra fermentation in my life can't hurt, especially considering my winter of antibiotics.

If you're interested I can bring a bottle somewhere?

is it alcoholic?

There is a good article about it here

Not really...it's alcoholic in the same way dandylion and burdock is.

“In addition to, or aside from any possible health benefits, many users report a relatively subtle but definite perceptual shift after consuming kombucha. This perceptual shift is generally characterized by mild euphoria, relaxation, and an overall sense of physical and mental well-being.”

i'm in

Knock a bottle back and you feel pretty high.
Nhatt have you got it to taste good brewing it youself? I can't stand the ones I've tried here but loved the stuff I've had in the states.

I'm still working on it.

It's pretty good, but I desided to try a smoked tea and that kind of killed some of the cultures and made it taste vinagery, but I'm back on track now.

Want one? I can deliver...well, at least part way.

i'll have one, defo.

Cool, I can bring some juice, a baby and some instructions to souths?

westrs, dear. wests!

Wests is a wednesday, no?

Hmm.

Maybe.

it is thursday, silleeeeee

HEY! just joined this forum - i know it was ages ago that you had the kombucha brew, just wondering if you still were doing it?
-Lilli

weird stuff.
i learned something new today. people like a drink made from "a Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast clinically known as a zoogleal mat.”

count me in for knowing. also, would it be possible to get a sample of some of the drink? if you have it i will be giving to my mum as a gift and im not sure if she will bother to make it if she cant taste it first.

Unfortunately the OP has since turned into a giant toadstool. Tragic stuff.
