 The Big Book of Kombucha  By Hannah Crum & Alex La Gory

I’m going to let you in on a little secret… whenever I get one of those security questions when I open a new account, I use “What is your favorite drink?”  The answer is always kombucha. It truly is my favorite drink. To buy it at the store can run you anywhere from $3 -$6 a bottle and that adds up, especially when you like to drink it most every day.  That is why I chose to learn how to make my own and it costs me just a few cents per bottle.  I have now been brewing my own kombucha for at least 5-6 years. I LOVE it. It is easy, tasty and so economical.
I first learned how to make kombucha from the author of this book, Hannah Crum. I would watch her YouTube videos and I have visited her website www.kombuchakamp.com many times. I even saw her lecture at a Mother Earth event.  She knows her stuff when it comes to kombucha. I was SO excited when she came out with this book. It has everything you need to know in one place. You seriously don’t need anything else. This is such a great and comprehensive book!
The Big Book of Kombucha walks you through how to make your own brew and much more. The major sections include:

  • Getting Started
  • Just Brew It
  • It’s More Than a Health Drink
  • Cooking with Kombucha
  • The Story of Kombucha

As I said, I have been brewing for over 5 years and I still learned a lot from this book. For example, I learned how to increase the carbonation (or effervescence as she calls it) in my second ferment. She also has tons of different flavor recipes for your brew. I have tried several and found a few new favorites. I’ve learned about some new tea combinations and she has great recipes on things you can do with kombucha other than just a drink.
Whether you are new to brewing or have been brewing your own kombucha for some time, this is a great resource book.  I know your will learn something you hadn’t known before!

Grapefruit Elderflower Kombucha
 
What happens when you add notoriously sour grapefruit to already tart kombucha?  Surprisingly, the flavors complement each other to create citrusy, floral notes.  Ruby reds have a naturally sweeter taste that pairs nicely with herbs and other botanicals for a refreshing second ferment.  Strain out the pulp to prevent bitterness.  This is one of my new favorites from the book:

Add to your 16 ounce bottle:
1/3 cup Ruby Red Grapefruit juice
½ teaspoon dried elderflower blossoms or berries
Fill the rest of the 16 oz. bottle with kombucha
