[...] while ago I was going through Bonzai Aphrodite’s old posts and ran across a couple (here and here) about this stuff called kombucha. I read it, found it interesting, but never really [...]

@ Jenny B. – Yes! Recipe will be coming very soon, probably next week. I have plans for a new batch, which I’ll photograph as I put it together.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me to hear that sort of feedback. =)

Regarding the planting schedule, it totally depends on where you live. I could tell you all about when to plant in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m clueless for, say, San Diego CA.

I suggest googling “ garden planting schedule”. I had good luck finding guides for each state that I tried.

Luck!

@ Onie – I wonder about the RAW designation of kombucha, too! Not only is it made from brewed tea, but it’s fed with refined sugar – which is definitely not raw.

Still, the finished product (fizzy, fermented SCOBY juice) is very different than what you start out with 2 weeks earlier (sweetened tea). So I guess the raw is in reference to the finished drink, which is living biomatter and not heat-treated, pasteurized, or anything else like that.

But I agree, it’s strange and I’m sure it’s debatable. As with anything, you have to do your homework and then make the decision that works for *you*. =)

Hey, I was curious about this falling under the Raw title since you brew the tea, therefore the plant its based off is no longer raw. Any insight would be great.
