Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My Kombucha tastes like sparkling apple cider with a hint of vinegar but that is because I prefer it a tad on the sour side. The wonderful thing about brewing it yourself is you bottle it when it tastes right to you.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Laurie, i find that I went thru a learning curve that determined how I like my KT. I also prefer, most times, it mixed with a little fruit juice., especially grape. I have decided that I like it sparkley and chilled. I have also found that for me it is about 6 days when it is no longer sweet but not yet vinegary. I decant it at that point, let it sit one more day or night on the counter and then refrigerate it. I also found that the more I drank it, the more I wanted it. While I have been blessed with good health, I tend to burn the candles at both ends. I find that I have more energy, sleep unbelieveably better, have fewer carb cravings and just a better feeling of well being. Oh, and it takes way less time for food to work its way thru my system. So I guess I'm saying that you can find how you like to drink it and either by combining it with juices or herbal teas, diluting it with water or brewing it a shorter time. I am so glad I found this wonderful food and I know you will be too. M upstate NY USA At 02:47 PM 1/27/2008, you wrote: >Hi everyone, > >I purchased some commercially bottled KT from my local co-op.
