Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential health benefits. However, kombucha and the process of fermenting are not new food preparation methods, with the beverage dating as far back as 220 BC. Making kombucha at home is not a difficult process, but there are important food safety considerations and steps to take to ensure the product is safe to consume. Join us for a kombucha brewing class on February 25th to learn the science behind fermenting, how to safely home brew, and taste varieties of kombucha from the demonstration. Attendees will leave with a home brewing kombucha kit, including a SCOBY, 1 gallon jar, pressure rated glass bottle, tea bags, sugar, and recipe booklet. Note: Kombucha is not an alcohol product.
