Hey FEASTers,
I am driving out to this Kombucha class. I have 4 spots in my car for anyone who wants to join me- email me (Suze Duggan: duggan@oxy.edu) by Wednesday the 16th to RSVP. The class in Hollywood and starts at 3:00, but I am leaving at 2:00.
Here is more info that was sent to me:
WHAT IS KOMBUCHA?
Kombucha is a fermented tea that has been used in China for medicinal purposes as early as the 19th century. When Kombucha is thoroughly and correctly fermented, it consists of acetic acid, carbonic acid, vitamins C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, B15, various beneficial enzymes and essential amino acids, folic acid, gluconic acid and lactic acid, as well as usnic acid—a natural product of fermentation, suppressing development of micro-organisms not belonging to the Kombucha culture.
ABOUT THE CLASS:
Do you want to feel comfortable brewing your own Kombucha Tea?
If you are not sure what to do with your Kombucha “mushroom” (SCOBY), come to Kombucha Class.
At the end of class, anyone who brings their own glass jar and wants to produce Kombucha Tea at home will be given a SCOBY for free.
Sunday, March 20, 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
5 Topics will be presented to enable a person to feel comfortable making their own Kombucha Tea at home.
Topic 1: Brief history.
Topic 2: Common Kombucha Terms.
Topic 3: How to prepare and propagate Kombucha “mushroom” SCOBY and produce Kombucha Tea.
Continuous brewing and how to make your own SCOBY hotel.
How to flavor your tea.
Topic 4: Health Benefits.
Topic 5: Anti-aging topical uses for Kombucha Tea and SCOBY
SCOBY (Acronym standing for Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast. This is the truest definition of a Kombucha Culture. Now you can impress your friends when you correct them and tell them it is not really a Mushroom!)
The Class is just $10 and everyone who brings their own glass jar and wants the Kombucha Culture (SCOBY) can take the starter home for free and start their own brew.
