kombucha and water kefir
What is your opinion on Kombucha tea and water kefir tea?
I have recently aquired a scoby and will start brewing, but I know you have to add sugars to these cultures. Do the little guys eat all the sugars for you? GT'S Organic Raw Kombucha only has 35 calories per serving, will home brewed be about the same?
I have been hearing so much about gut health and having healthy flora, I was wondering if these probiotics fit alongside the Enlita diet?
Thanks,
Karen
They both have beneficial effects on digestion and have numerous healing properties attributed to them...I think it's a personal preference thing. Coconut water kefir is something that is on my list of things to make really soon- it is supposed to be just wonderful...
Yes Yes Yes!
We introduce these wonderful fermented foods and beverages a bit later in the program (week 11 and 12 I think) and actually recommend you make kombucha at that point. But feel free to get started with it now- I personally love kombucha and occasionally make it but prefer the yummy Synergy brand grape kombucha over my own! Yes you do use sugar to make it but the sugar is all digested in the fermentation process. It does not work well with alternative sweeteners. Make sure to use organic black tea bags with the sugar and you'll be all set.

Dr. Winnie,
How does the Kombucha compare with water kefir tea? I recently revived the little guys and they are finally starting to wake up. My kefir is still fizzy from a few days ago!!!
Thanks!
