Starter request 'n other stuff

[Guest guest]

Hello and thank you for letting me join this fine group! I guess ...

all the things I've done in my life have led me here - or somesuch.

I'm so happy! The other day I was scouting for family provisions, aka

shopping at Sprouts, and I picked up my first two bottles of GTS.

Mind you, that day I was headachy, pmsee, tired, had just come off a

week long fast and still had one more store to go to. After paying

for my groceries, I plucked the gingery bottle of GTS from the grocery

bag and downed it while sitting in the car, debating if I really

wanted to make that last stop. Instantly I thought, " omg, does anyone

else know about this stuff?! " Needless to say, I was feeling

wonderful, almost immediately concocting ideas to get my hands on

more! Made my way to Whole Foods, then home and started a mad google

for my new favorite thing.

I've just finished ready Nourishing Traditions - great book - it has a

recipe for KT, but I've found other sites and people to confirm.

It's been two days since I've been following the group. Done searches

on everything I can think of and I think I'm ready. I have black tea,

green tea, sugar, glass jars, big water bottles, little water bottles

- now all I need are a few scobys to get me going. Love that word!

I would be most grateful if anyone has a few spares? I have paypal.

We are in Tucson, AZ.

My other question: My toddler thinks its neat to try anything mama

tries - he's convinced most things I drink are something good. The

other day he drank half my glass of unsweetened, not from concentrate

pure cranberry juice spiked with very tart grapefruit juice. It made

*me* wince, but he happily chugged it. I have not been able to locate

any sources that say to the contrary that it is safe for toddlers to

consume KT - does anyone else know?
