MULTI GREEN KOMBUCHA

I tried it today for the first time. I think I'm a believer! Made my hangover go away!!

Magic elixir!

My teacher made some for me...Not terrible, but it tasted like vinegar at times.

The popular alternative metal band System of a Down references Kombucha in the song "Sugar" on their self-titled album. Lead vocalist Serj Tankian screams, "The Kombucha Mushroom people sitting around all day."

HI JON I READ WIKIPEADIA 2

yum num om nom gurgle gurgle sip sip ahhhhhhhhhhh

was scared of this for a long time but i actually really like the flavor

nothing is better than the first sipsies of a gingerade bloomin in yr face

i can fuck w multigreen too

the tiny little "magic kombucha" bottles are bullshit

i havent tried anything but GTznutz

im thinkin of goin homegrown when i hit cali

isn't that a good way 2 get sick

but at least if i do get sick ill be able to afford medicine cause i wont be droppin four bucks a bottle

my Kombucha died :(

it'd been brewing stronger & stronger for 8 months, then in december one brew came out weaker, and the next one after that, the culture was no longer floating on the surface, sinking dying

so I called the friends I'd given my Kombucha babies out to, to see if I could get one in return, and all three of them had the same story. none of us keep our kitchens heated and it's been a very very cold winter, is the theory, but now we are without our cultures

RIP baby kombuchas

kombuchi?

kombuchacaust

is baby kombucha kombuchina?

pete you are really going to Cali? also, how do I shot gingerade in this town? whole foods near my work used to have it but always seems to be sold out while all the other flavors are still there.

yeah dude oct1

places i cop:
- whole foods (they just had a sale on it last week, shelves should be replenished this wkd)
- yes! organic market (adams morg/clev pk)
- daily market (CT and K)
- java green (19th and K)
- umd coop
- tp/ss coop

making kombucha is hard. we could never get carbonation going. you can't really get sick from it though.

bry(3 h@ckf0rd's dad fucked up his stomach from too much kombucha!

this is what Mindy Kaling has to say about kombucha: "man, it is expensive, and also it kind of tastes like an alcoholic is peeing in your mouth."

sorry, kombucha lovers.

who is this mindy person and why does her opinion matter over my own?

it doesn't, but she preemptively ruined kombucha for me, is all I'm saying.

i'll show you my manchurian mushroom

There is also one report of Kombucha becoming infected with anthrax and passing along the infection to an individual who rubbed it on his skin to alleviate pain. Apparently, anthrax from nearby cows got into the Kombucha mixture and grew luxuriantly.

i like the TRILOGY by GTS (or GT's, can never remember).

spotted on l train tonight: girl drinking orange kombucha drink between bites of CANNOLI!

tza gets paid an additional $7.50 for every 1,000 pageviews

this is my kombucha alternative

2 pints whole milk
4 tablespoons malt powder
3 tablespoons sugar
6 shots whisky
2 vanilla pods, scored and the seeds scraped out

Heat up the milk and whisk in the malt, sugar to taste, whisky, vanilla seeds and pods. Whisk up, then, if you have a cappuccino frother, whiz up to make some lovely froth.

this was the first one i tried, and i cant do it. the only berry one i like is gingerberry, and i think that largely succeeds on the basis of the ginger cutting down the acidity of the berry juice...

I stand by my earlier post that enzymes and bacteria in plain yogurt and fermented soy/tofu (sorry to get all j-food but: natto, tofuyo, etc.) are more healthy for you than kombucha.

i can't really get down with the natto. can't they just make a delicious beer that has all the necessary enzymes?

i feel like i can perceive the effects of kombucha better than those of yogurt, though!

69,

for you i think it's the detox properties. :-P

SS

oh damn

is it always gross or are certain flavors better? just tried gt's mystic mango and it smelled like swamp ass

gingerade>>gingerberry>>>>>>>>>mystic mango>original=cosmic cranberry>trilogy=multi-green>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>anything else

gingerade is def the least vinegary

oh my fucking god you dudes

he mean huge healthy stools, tom

I went to buy a kombucha yesterday at whole foods and there wasn't any and I asked them why and they told me so I attempted to throw myself in front of an oncoming car

give me back my kombucha damn you all

Local overpriced upscale grocery has lots of kombucha brands still. I want one right about now.

It's not hard to make.If you don't think the health benefits are worth $4/tiny bottle (they aren't) you can make it and check the potential benefits for free. I have plenty of mothers to give away but I make mine in gallon jars so the girls have a large surface area. Takes a while to get the hang of it-vinegary home kombucha is dud. I'm still alive 2.5 years after doc expected me to croak so kombucha and NN diet get a big a+ from me. Also weed. Also neti. 3/3 for this board apparently.

what about cycling???????????

you're sweet for asking but this isn't the cycling board.

i've had great success making kombucha (it's easy), and i think it tastes better than GT's. if anyone in nyc wants a mother i can give you one.

man this post just made me really happy!

speaking of wings i am late to the party but my hungover self bought some overpriced organic chicken wings and assorted marbled cheeses at whole foods this morning JUST TO GET A $3 GINGERADE. of course i am late to the party (do keep up) so i was cursing at the pee water coco vita replacement. the hirsute cashier informed me that the FDA has banned all kombucha sales because they weren't able to control alcohol levels in it.

i'm relieved to see Synergy's business model isn't completely dead in the water, but i'm not paying $7 at a bodega.

Williams-Sonoma Kombucha Kit

we've crossed something in society

kit includes only stupid fruit flavors, no unflavored tea version or MULTI GREEN

itt drinking garbage

going to start a kombucha lab this weekend, here's to hoping I don't blow anything up

I am now hooked on this. It's a big city drink though. Not available in small towns. Tried Synergy and Buddah's Brew and love it! LOVE IT!

However, started to feel mildly sicky and felt grumpy in a weird way today. Read about detoxing etc and figured I had some of that going on since I juice too.

bilberry flav is rly good ... i bought it as a wild impulse, i am v surprised. it is multigreenesque !

i rly wd appreciate some guidance on what else is good since it is such a Flavor Universe now. i had hibiscus ginger which is only okay. also i went to SF & saw a double-size bottle of gingerade. very powerful scene.

all the supermarkets here are at war & it has pushed the price of supermarket-provenance-GTS down to a citywide $3. wonderful. just a great time to be alive.

i also read this
http://www.inc.com/magazine/201503/tom-foster/the-king-of-kombucha.html
sort of expecting the guy to be unbearable but eventually feeling moved to write a long whitmanesque cycle of poems in his honour. he is like a kind of 21c johnny appleseed character almost. a new age fermentation-centric john henry.

i also saw a v g william leavitt film where one of the characters is describing a sports drink with kombucha in, & another character says, kombucha?, as in like [that fermented drink ???], & the guy says, yes!,

it's slime energy!

so now i think of kombucha as slime energy

had some brand called "rise" in canada that was good

had some kombucha from a place that had it on tap because it seemed like a thing that should be done for the experience

no joke my office has rise on tap 24/7

your intestinal well-being is important

see how many gallons you have to drink to get a buzz off the residual alcohol content

wait the guy's name is three first names in a row

his parents were into lotus position sex and had a spiritual advisor and couldn't come up with something better than george thomas dave? very fishy

not comfortable w the distortion involved in 'three first names in a row', this not crazy compared to the norm of ... two first names in a row; it is the first name as a last name that is the punctum here. but also-

i gt dave is cool
ii if one were to look for weirdnesses abt him i feel like there is richer terrain, cf the artice describing his appearance as somewhat 'photoshopped'

Health-Ade's Cayenne Cleanse, wow
