Kombucha

  My kombucha.
 
 
It turned out so well and was so easy to bring together! I am on my second round now and plan to split my SCOBY into the other jar so that I can experiment a little more!  
 
If you want more information totally just Google search scoby OR Kombucha and you'll get a ton of great resources and information.
 
PINTEREST is also a great place to find recipes and tips on how to make your on Kombucha.
 
I received my scoby from a friend, who is an avid Kombucha creator. You can purchase starter sets or start your own with just a few ingredients. It's best to get one from another batch to ensure it's quality.
 
Enjoy ~~

Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

For roughly a month now I have been drinking a water based concoction that has Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in it. I know it sounds gross....trust me I thought it was going to be awful but surprisingly if you get the balance right it's really good and the benefits have been an added bonus!

I drink about 100+ ounces of water a day. I LOVE WATER. It makes me very happy and is always my beverage of choice. I still drink the same amount of water, but every other bottle or so I mix in the ACV and other ingredients including honey, cinnamon, and ginger. I use a 32 ounce water bottle and have played around with added different amounts of each until I found what works for me. Start with a tablespoon or less of the ACV to see how you like the taste. Then add a little honey for sweetness and about 1 tsp each cinnamon and ginger.

Google will give plenty of information on ACV but here are some benefits from the Bragg website to fulfill some curiosity (I have experienced all of these benefits):
