Happy gut health – kombucha and more!

Did you know people started sipping kombucha over 2,000 years ago? This was at the beginning of China’s Qin Dynasty, back in 221 BCE. However, it wasn’t a cup of kombucha they were drinking then. No, one needs a “Tea of Immortality” whilst constructing The Great Wall of China.

In this short workshop, we introduce you to nourishing fermented drinks. Through discussion and hands-on activities, we’ll explore how fermentation works.

• We’ll start with homemade kombucha. First, we’ll Introduce you to the SCOBY and how to look after it, so you can keep making this delicious drink at home. Then we’ll taste a few flavour combinations to encourage you to experiment with your own ideas.
• Next up it’s sourdough fizz. Here we’ll discuss how to use your sourdough starter to make this tasty drink.
• Finally, we’ll try water kefir and start a small batch of this for you to ferment at home.

We’ll leave you with some recipes and the confidence to brew these delicious drinks at home.

The course is suitable for beginners and people with a bit of experience. If you are interested in trying out something new, this is the workshop for you.

All drinks are dairy free. Please bring some containers to take home your drinks.
