 Topic: Kombucha Starter
Posted: 04 November 2009 at 8:45am |
Hey anyone else on here have a Kombucha starter? Pref one thats multiplied that they want to share 
What do you make out of it? How do you find the flavour??
Or you have any other interesting starters you could tell me about? I have Kefir, Sourdough and Ginger Beer on my windowsill ATM.

I've never heard of it either lol! Here is what Wiki has to say:
Kombucha is a fermented tea that is imbibed for medicinal purposes, although there is currently no specific scientific information supporting any purported benefits.[1]. Kombucha is available commercially, but can be made at home by fermenting tea using a visible solid mass of microorganisms called a kombucha culture or mushroom.

Yep thats the one Kelly I'm looking for a mushroom. They self-multiply y'see. It makes a healthy, apparently delicious drink so I'm curious to find someone who can give me their opinion on it.
Lisa you're a doll  Thanks for checking in your book! I can send you some sourdough starter (along with a no-knead sourdough recipe ) if you're ever interested in trying it out x

Ooh yes please. I have finally found a good multi grain bread recipe as well, but you make up this big mix so its ready to go and just use what you need. It only works in a breadmaker I think cos my MIL doesn't have a breadmaker and it doesn't work for her, but works good in my crappy old breadmaker lol.

I'm still getting it on its feet coz I almost killed it haha but should be good to go in a week. It needs daily feeding of flour and water and you build it up til you have a jar full then just take it as you need it
I'd love your mutligrain recipe?? I've borrowed a breadmaker while I'm preg to do the kneading for stuff. Oh I've got a soooo yummy tortilla recipe too!!!
