Good Morning Sunshine
I was feeling kind of inspired last night. Those grey, rainy evenings leave me craving an injection of sunshine. Hmmm, so how about planning a kombucha themed breakfast to kick start the day? Whoa..............succulent kombucha fruit loaf! Equinox ginger kombucha poured over a bowl of dried fruits & seeds exploded in a sizzling cauldron of effervescence. By morning the kombucha steeped fruits were nicely plumped, tender, juicy & beautifully fragrant with a gingery sweetness & a hint of yeast. Added to my favourite gluten & sugar free loaf recipe those kombucha laden nuggets made a wicked...
A Stretch in the Chiller
As the sultry weather continues, numerous cats have been found illegally parked in boxes of refrigerated kombucha. This local cat, who preferred not to be named, said "I'm so embarrassed, I've been caught red-pawed. I mean, us cats are supposed to be the ultimate sun worshippers..........but sometimes life can get too hot to handle. Two summers of grey skies & rain, & I'd forgotten what it was like to swelter in a fur coat in eighty degrees. Well pardon my scorching pelt, but it was temptation beyond endurance. It may have lost street cred, but chilling out in...
Warm Cheese Delirium
For a light lunch on a busy day, why not try a five minute Kaptain Kombucha meal idea?A generous handful of mixed salad leaves, sweet little cherry tomatoes, colourful zingy peppers, red onion & refreshing cucumber, topped by baked cheese & pesto. Five minutes on a hot oven is all it takes to create a melt-in-the-mouth sensation. My favourite moment is breaking through the crust & watching that lava-flow of molten cheese oozing over the salad........mmmm, so creamy! It goes down a treat with freshly picked red currants & a bottle of Original Kombucha.My own preference is for goat, rather...
No Flies On Us!
A Kaptain Kombucha tip for home brewers Everybody loves Kombucha, but sometimes your Kombucha party can attract unwelcome gatecrashers. Drosophila melanogaster, otherwise known as the common fruit fly, just love the smell of fermenting Kombucha. Summer sees them out in force, & that sumptuous, inviting mattress of SCOBY (the fruity body of bacteria & yeast that transforms sweetened tea into Kombucha) puts them in the mood for romance. Given half a chance the cheeky winged invaders will sneak right in, feast on your Kombucha & lay their eggs on your SCOBY. The trouble with fruit flies is that...
Soakaway
Grains, nuts & seeds are packed full of scrummy nutrients, but the greedy little rascals want them all for themselves......& who can blame them! As the future generation they need to be pretty tough nuts to survive until the conditions for germination are right, so Mother Nature has given them some awesome weapons, known collectively as anti-nutrients. These include various toxins & enzyme inhibitors. Yes, that's right, they're making it really hard for your digestive system to get to work on them, & they can even steal some of your minerals by binding to them to prevent them being...
