Kombucha?
I'm a big fan of Kombucha. I would love it if some Kombucha drinkers and makers could share their best batch recipes with us. Such as, kind of tea they used, if they used the controversial sugar, organic sugar, or perhaps even honey (a big no, no apparently). Some people even add other natural flavouring.
For my batch I like to use organic white tea with an organic or raw sugar. This works very well for me, but I think it would be fun to experiment with other "flavours" a bit.

I brew mine for 2 weeks or more. I like it more tart. I keep one brewing jar always and keep x-tra scoby's in it. So when I make a new batch I have a really strong, potent starter. I make a new batch of tea use 1 c. from constant fermenting jar then replace new tea as needed to constant fermening jar. It is super strong. I have never had one go bad or get mold. When I bottle, I will put new batch in old synergy bottles and add whatever flavors. I add gogi's and let them set for a day the color turns a lovely red, they soften and plump. I will sometimes throw them in before I drink and they stay chewy, and every drink has a sweet chewy surprise. When I add strawberry I just cut some up and put them in let set for a day or so and yummm. I have let a jar with strawberry go too long and for some reason I was feeling very tipsy. I was getting a little drunk in the AM. Well it happend twice. The first time I thought it was strange, second time I knew something was happening. That was when I was making more then I could consume, within a few days. With practice I figured out a system that works for me.........Happy Brewing

Both, I like it plain but I also like to change things up. Then adding the gogi's before you drink or soaking the over night is 2 completely different tastes, and when you chew on them they are also fun.

No problem, Lu lu. I'm definitely not the universe and I didn't hear you ;0) LOL But I'm glad this topic came up timely. You're sweet! Oh my goodness! I don't think I could brew mine for 18 days! That's just a bit too much. You're amazing.

I haven't actually started brewing my own yet. But i'm wondering if anyone has tried using tea's of entheogens. Such as kava or damidagga? i want to make mine with some really potent damidagga, but i haven't heard of anyone else doing that, so i'm worried that maybe it will damage the culture or something. or maybe i'm the only one who wants damidagga's effects while drinking an awesome beverage. Anyway, let me know if you've tried any other teas that black, or green.

Also, I'm on anti-depressants, birth control pills, and I'm prone to yeast infections/urinary tract infections. Will there be any issues?

I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)
wow THANK YOU!!!!
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
Wow, I'd pay to see that

Yeah, he doesn't look like the healthiest 62 year old. Well, at least he seems to look healthy at a glance, but he looks a bit aged for 62, and he seemed to have a stiff jaw or something going on there.
And those doctors are the typical clueless ...
Summer saulting through the air is my favourite move. I sometimes do it mid-conversations when the person I'm talking to is dull.
Haha..love it!
