Being that this weekend it's only my son and I, I decided to wake up a little earlier and surprise him with his favorite dessert, vanilla bean custard with blackberry reduction, to have with our breakfast. You should have seen his smile!
I made Eggs Benedict for him....
and for myself avocado toast with a poached egg.
Our kombucha was ready so we had to drink it! I love always having my kombucha scobies going!
For those of you curious how to make your own batch, here is my recipe. Easy and refreshing!
Kombucha
1 gallon glass jar
Cheese cloth and rubber-band
1 kombucha scoby with its own starter liquid
1/2 gallon cold water
1/2 gallon hot water
1 cup sugar
9 regular good quality black tea bags
In your glass jar, dissolve sugar in hot water and add the teabags. Let sit for approximately 1/2 hour. Remove teabags and add the cold water. Gently add the scoby and starter; cover the mouth on the jar using the cheesecloth and rubber band. Set in a warm dark area, I put mine in my pantry. Wait at least 3-4 days for it to ferment. You should see a thin layer forming on top, unless it's black or moldy this is fine as this is another scoby forming. Taste as the days go but remember don't let it go for too long as it turns into vinegar, which you can use in place of apple cider vinegar if this happens. You can even bottle it up so it ferments even more and bubbles turning it into kombucha soda!
Today we will be going downtown so I'll be taking you with me on our adventure tomorrow morning! Can't wait to share this with you!
Have you tried kombucha?
