Description: Delve into the fascinating world of fermentation science and discover how simple and rewarding it is to craft this delicious, probiotic-rich beverage in your own kitchen. This workshop will guide you through the fermentation process of kombucha (fermented tea), from selecting the right ingredients to understanding the role of the SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) in transforming sweet tea into a tangy, effervescent drink. Participants will learn about fermenting tea into kombucha, bottling and flavoring, maintaining brewing supplies, and the many culinary uses for kombucha (cocktail mixers, syrups, salad dressings, and more)! Whether you’re a curious beginner or an avid homebrewer, you’ll leave equipped with the knowledge and confidence to start brewing your own kombucha at home. Participants will have the option to take home a SCOBY, enabling them to begin brewing right away.
