Making Probiotics At Home: Kombucha Tea From Mother Culture

Probiotics play an important role in healing arthritis because they help to re-populate the stomach and intestines with healthy bacteria. In this video, Barbara Allan explains how to make kombucha tea at home. Kombucha tea is more than just a probiotic food, it also supplies the body with organic acids, enzymes, and polyphenols, or antioxidants. It helps to detoxify the body and increase digestive and immune function. For more information visit: http://www.conqueringarthritis.com/rheumatoidarthritistreatmentprobioticsuppl...

Is KT is safe for kids 6yr or older and also i want to know after second fermintation how i can store KT in air tight bottle or open lid covered with cloth or towel paper Thx..

@TheBs2522 As far as I know kombucha is not only safe, but healthy for kids 6 and older. I don't understand the second fermentation part of your question. I ferment my kombucha tea and store it in mason jars with the lid screwed on only lightly. If you put it in an air tight bottle pressure will build up and it may fizz or even bubble over when you open it. Store in glass, not plastic or metal.

If you want to be healthy don't use white sugar. That should be obvious. Raw cane sugar is best.

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@eatforenergy Conventional wisdom says it isn't healthy to use white sugar, but that is because white sugar isn't good for humans. It turns out that the kombucha culture has different nutrional needs than human beings. It thrives on white sugar. By the time it has finished turning the starting tea/sugar mixture into komucha tea, there is no sugar left, only the human-healthy compounds the culture produced as it grew.

@RheumatoidArthritisx Conventional wisdom is right again. White sugar is devoid of nutrients and is terrible for human consumption. Kombucha doesn't have different needs. Its best to use raw organic sugar that has trace minerals and other nutrients. Its the smart thing to do. We use raw for all our kombucha it works great. Give it a try!

[RheumatoidArthritisx]

@eatforenergy Actually Kombucha does most definately have different nutrional needs than human beings! However, you point is well taken about the trace minerals in raw can sugar are still being better for humans, who are consuming the end product, than the lack of trace minerals that comes from using a sugar source with no trace minerals.

@TheFOIBOS Thanks for that tip! I had not thought of that. Using a straw was a suggestion in one of the books I read when I was learning to make kombucha.

[TheFOIBOS]

you should not drink with a straw like this...it's possible to enter your mouth bacteria to the scoby!not good.

:(

@darthcamron210 Good luck finding a diet that works for you. In my experience, the optimal diet is highly individual and changes over time.

@darthcamron210 Ahh.... I misunderstood what you were asking. Personally I don't like eating or drinking anything with vague ingredient listings like "natural flavors" because those terms are used by the food processing industry to hide so many unhealthy ingredients.
