yes,.... i thought this was a hippy forum and no talk about kombucha? strange! it's a health drink, slightly fizzy, not as bland as herbal tea (which is also nice, but not so exiting stuff in the long run) and it can have a tiny bit of alcolhol in it, depending the way it was done. made from tea and sugar and then, adding the scoby, a sort of fungus transforming the liquid into a really tasty health brew. this is the future, folks! tastes a little bit like cider, and the best... you can make yourself at home!
I had some Kombucha about 10 years ago. I don't guess I cared that much for it. I gave all mine away.
It's passed around often, as the mother fungus reproduces and you can gift friends so they can start their own.
there are FIVE other kombucha threads in this section already... http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=395016&highlight=kombucha&f=55 http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=389898&highlight=kombucha&f=55 http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=385517&highlight=kombucha&f=55 http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=283968&highlight=kombucha&f=55 http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=121158&highlight=kombucha&f=55 and it's not a tea...
I was visiting a friend at a co-op in frisco last time I tried kombucha. This mama (face paint on the regular, artistic type) walks in the room I was sleeping in just as the sun came up; and she was excited to tell everyone in the house that she just finished brewing some home-made Kombucha. I didn't even know what the hell Kombucha was so when she offered it, I gladly accepted. She passed it to me to try it first and watched me take a sip. She was all wide eyed and laughing as I forced the odd liquid down. She's like its amazing isn't it? To be honest I thought it was a sick joke and she just tricked me into drinking urine. She had been trippin a lot lately so but so had I... idk. Everyone else who tried it really liked it, but I have never tried it again. in conlcusion, I'm not a fan of kombucha
