Kombucha – fermented brew
Maribyrnong VIC 3032
Australia
Spring is at our fingertips. Come and celebrate the turning of the cold by learning to brew a delightful tonic beverage that is bursting with bubbles, flavour and goodness.
You will be making kombucha, a sweetened tea that is fermented by a community of bacteria and yeast (also known as ‘Scoby’). It is beneficial to your gut health, helps cleanse the body of accumulated toxins in your diet and is a deliciously tasty, effervescent alternative drink to alcohol. Drinking kombucha regularly can help boost sluggish energy levels, and will help clear the mind of stubborn mental conditions. Perfect for letting go of winter moods and renewing our energies.
In this workshop, you will:
- Discuss the health benefits of kombucha.
- Look at the types of tea suitable for fermenting.
- Follow a step-by-step demonstration for making single/batch brew (and learn about continuous brew) kombucha.
- Enjoy some tastings of kombuchas made with different teas and flavourings.
- Learn to flavour and infuse kombucha with the added benefits of herbs, fruit and spices.
You will go away with your own original kombucha starter (scoby included) and the skills and inspiration to keep creating and brewing beautiful fermented teas at home.
You will be having some nibbles following the workshop. Please bring a plate of appetisers to share with everyone.
Limited space for 10 people.
