Bonus Material !!!Hydration Drink: Kombucha

(Better, More Effective & Healthier than Gatorade.)

What the heck is Kombucha?

Kombucha. What are you talking about, Todd? If you have ever shopped in a health food store chances are you have seen bottles of Kombucha sold in the cooler section starting at $4 a bottle. I’m going to lay out how you can make your own for less.

Kombucha is a high energy drink that not only is loaded with tons of B vitamins but also detoxifies your body. It is great fore eliminating lactic acid, an athlete’s must and helps increase the healthy bacteria in your intestinal tract.

How does Kombucha work?

This is the shortened version. I have laid out step by step directions with a link to a tutorial below. I highly recommend watching the tutorial twice before beginning to make your own Kombucha. It seems like a lot at first but after a few times of brewing you’ll remember the details.

Start by combining strong-brewed, sweetened, black or green tea with a bit of already prepared kombucha and a scoby. (This is what I am holding in the below picture.) A scoby is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast combined. Both extremely healthy bacteria and yeast. The scoby culture plays a very similar role in the kombucha tea as a “mother” starter does in sourdough bread.

Between 7 -10 days, the yeast and bacteria have metabolized about 95 percent of the sugar, excreting hundreds of compounds, including the several B vitamins, lactic acid, and alcohol. The compounds expelled is what makes kombucha so desirable.

FYI: Please consult a doctor before drinking if pregnant or nursing. Also, remember this is a live culture therefore it is HIGHLY acceptable to mold. Drinking moldy kombucha can be highly toxic and dangerous to your health.

In general, white, black or green spots are indications of mold. Scoby must be thrown away or composed in your garden. Brown or lightly tan spots are okay. If in doubt, Google “moldy scoby” to see pictures.

!!Isometric Recipe Book 22

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ingredients:

- Scoby - 3 quarts of filtered water* - 2 bags of organic green tea - 2 bags of organic black tea - 1 cup of palm sugar or honey - 2/3 cups of starter (fermented kombucha tea). !Water needs to be filtered in order to eliminate the chance of bacteria or mold growing on the kombucha.

Isometric Recipe Book 23

Materials: - 1 large cooking pot - 1 wooden spoon - 1 large rubber band - 1 clean 100% white cotton towel (No colors or blends of fabric - again it will alter the

fermenting process of your kombucha).

- 1 glass jar the size of 3 quarts or larger (must be glass).

!Directions: 1. Filter 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil. 2. Add 1 cup of sugar into boiling water and let the sugar water boil for 5 minutes. 3. After 5 minutes, turn the burner off and remove the pot of sugar water away from the

stove. Add the 4 tea bags (2 green and 2 black) and stir the tea bags a few times in the water. Let tea steep for 10 minutes.

4. After 10 minutes, remove tea bags again using the wooden spoon. Pour water into a 3 quart size glass jar.

5. Let tea cool down to room temperature but do not let it sit longer than it needs too.

6. If washed hands place the scoby into the room temperature tea along with the starter. Stir lightly a few times.

7. Place clean white cotton towel over the bowl securing it with a rubber band.

8. Place the scoby into a room where it is not in direct sunlight but not so tiny it doesn’t have room to breathe. Do not place in a room that has a ceiling fan or the kitchen where food particles can get into the kombucha.

9. Do not touch or move until at least 7 days or 10 days at the max.

10. After the fermentation is done remove cotton towel and with clean hands separate the scobies. You should now have two. :) Place each scoby into a clean glass container (not bag) with a tight lid and 2/3 cups starter in each bowl. You can keep them together but they must stay in the fridge or they will die.

11. Best to drink cold. You can also add fruit juice to reduce the vinegar flavor. Just add 2 parts of your favorite juice to the mix.

!*Do not drink more than 8 ounces a day but start off with about 2-3 ounces a day to allow your body to get used to drinking it. It’s that potent.

Isometric Recipe Book 24

!Tutorials: Home economists has a beginner and an advanced kombucha tutorial. Make sure to wash your hands and all of your materials extremely well as you don’t want mold growing on your kombucha.
