using kombucha to get me thru my marijiana detox right now
Donna, so far I have been making Kefir and eating Cultured veggies for two weeks and I’m not craving sweets and believe me, I had a sugar addiction. I’ve just received my SCOBY from you and starting to make Kombucha. I’m looking forward to seeing how my body reacts to the wonderful ways it will nourish my body. I’m very excited and love the fact that once I get established with the Cultures and Kefir Grains I can just continue making it every week. I’ve learned so much from you these last few weeks and I can see how thankful you are for your health and how you want to help others and I’m thankful for you!
I love to hear this Jan! Thank you so much for sharing, I'm so glad kefir and veggies are working so well for you. You're going to love kombucha too!
Love your testimony and your changed life. Thanks for sharing.
Great video/podcast. Thank you for sharing 😎🇨🇦
Have learned so much from you, Donna. Thank you! I have a question about fermented veggies. When wanting to reuse the brine, how long will the brine be active and strong to remake more veggies?
Have been making and drinking this wonderful easy, delicious and healthy tea for about a year now! Have my family and many friends on it now. We all are feeling and tasting the wondeful results! Thanks to Donna for the education and inspiration for getting on the kombucha path!
I have a question, first I must share that your awesome I appreciate your sharing your stories and how easy you makes all this . I've tried brewing a few batches of Kombucha and sometimes it turns out lighter than others? It didn't seem right? Does it matter or when it's dark is it not ready to drink? Also does the veggies to make cultured veggies have to be organic? I've tried non organic and it didn't turn out right- does using a starter fail proof cultivating the cultured veggies?
Awsome thankyou
I have a couple of questions regarding kefir: 1) How much did you drink daily when you first began with kefir 2) I have been able to make thick kefir using store bought organic kefir and adding milk and then fermenting for 24 hours. But I do not know if this has all of the health benefits of kefir made from grains. Could you possibly tell me that?
Send us an email at support@culturedfoodlife.com and we'll do our best to answer your questions.
Wonderful! Would love to see you on video.
My question is- can i give an almost 1yr old milk kefir? Seems a little dumb, but wanted your input anyway. I already give a a little fermented kraut juice once in awhile. We have been pretty healthy since starting fermenting things, but the milk thing makes me nervous. the rest of us do milk kefir
Hi Donna. I am listening to your podcast since several weeks. The informations you are giving are so informaive for me. I am living in west Africa and run a wellness center. Helping with my knowledge all those people with health issues, I became something like a trusted adviser for them. I live here over 20 years and noticed that the severe worse health among the locals resultes of bad eating habits mainly. I started to bake sour dough bread 1 year ago for my family but it grow to a little business. Originally from Austria/Vienna I am familar with fermented food quite well. Kefir, fermented food and ACV already in my sortiment. Still amazed to learn more from you. Especially Kombucha which is new to me. I want to brew it and offer it here to my family and clients as an additional benefit to there health. The challenge I am facing is, that we dont have glass bottles available easy. Plastic bottles in abundance. I thought I can use 2 liter sprite bottles since they are green in colour and already contained a soda type of beverage. Do you think it is possible to use these soda bottles for kombucha in second fermentation? I am worried about that the fermantion releases some plastic compounds into the kombucha. I aprechiate your answer to my question.
Hi Helen, Glass is alway best with fermented foods. All cultured foods break down plastics and heavy metals so you don't want to be consuming any toxins from the plastics that have been broken down. If you get a good food grade plastic (and it's your only option) you can try it and see how it does. But glass is always best. Especially for making any kombucha or fermented soda (you'll want good sturdy bottles) Hope you kind find a way to get this foods into your life as well as your clients!
Thanks Donna! I love your podcasts. I'm addicted to sugar and I'm having trouble leaving it. Actually I'm insulin resistant. Can I drink Kombucha?
It's really up to you and your body. Just make sure it isnt sweet at all, if you are having severe sugar cravings you may have a candida problem. But if your kombucha is tart you'll do great and it will help with cravings :)
Thanks for your videos Donna.How much sugar and tea should be used in kombucha?
Here is the recipe! www.culturedfoodlife.com/the-trilogy/kombucha/how-to-make-kombucha/
I am a great fan of yours. Thank you so much for all the info. you give us! Thank you for sincerely caring about people and their health.
I have many questions for you. I have started making Kombucha. You were the first I watched on utube and I must admit my very favorite! I have made 24 batches and it only gets better! Talk to you soon on culturedfoodlife@donnaschwenck
Maybe u can help me out,I'm fairly new to brewing kombucha and today I bottled some kt and I prefer it original so I bottled and after it chilled in the fridge I grabbed a bottle and when I opened it there is a smell like a fart or rotten egg smell,do u know what might have went wrong and is it safe to drink,is this normal?Should I dump it and try again?Please help.🤔😣
This is sulfur and while it's not harmful it is most likely from something in the water you're using. Try changing your water and using springwater and see if this helps.
Donna Schwenk ok great thanks alot for your help,I will definitely be trying different water next time lol.
Barbara plz be very careful if u have had a past alcohol liking, bucha can cause cravings yes. Kefir is a better choise of prebiotic in this case
Jobe H I have a friend I gave a taste to and I had no idea he had a problem with alcohol right away he could taste the little that was in it. He was sensitive to it. I apologize.... but sure understood..
I agree with the milk kefir, but not water kefir grains, he would be sensitive to water kefir
what about the alcohol content in kombucha for recovering alcoholics?
Check out this article: www.culturedfoodlife.com/is-kombucha-good-for-you/
+Donna Schwenk thanks Donna....I know there are only trace amounts....I had bought my own scoby and followed the instructions...I had to throw it out in the end as it tasted so much like alcohol to me I didn't want to risk it. I tried masking the taste with juice, fruit, water but it was still really strong.
I made a few different batches in case I was doing it wrong but to no avail.
I wad so disappointed as I do believe it's really good for health
I'm one and it's fine. It really helps.
❤
