Do you use organic sugar to brew your KT?

[Guest guest]

Dear Jan,

So far I have used plain white sugar for 11 years. I like the taste of the brew.

Unfortunately, this one last time, I had to use powderes sugar and have rued it

ever since. I can't stand that little aftertaste. If my son wer already home, It

wouldn't have lasted so long. O. Woe.. Some day I may try organic sugar and

salt. I haven't put any salt in mine yet, because it makes me hold fluid.

Perhaps Celltic Sea Salt and Himalayln Sea Salt won't do that. LOve. MArge.

Good luck on your poll of 2800 members on this Llst. Ha.

Blessings on you all. LOve. MArge.

LOL @ my poll! :oP It will be especially hard since most members

aren't very active and there are so many of us newbies. I want to

say, " Thank you " for the few of you who have to field all of our

questions. I truly appreciate the fact that you take the time to

help us!

Why would you add salt to KT? From all I read unprocessed salt will

not cause you to retain water. I am up to 3g's a day of salt

(himalayan) and am not having any problems. There are those in our

Lyme Strategies group take 12-18g's without problems.

I am discouraged about my brew, but if this round turns out well,

since I made 2 I will try my turbinado sugar in one and see how it

goes. While keeping the other using white sugar.

Hi Jan and EveryOne,

Added your question to the POLLS link from the list home page.

I've used nothing but Certified Organic Sugar since 1994 to make my

Kombucha and it always comes out fizzy and fantastic....for the past

few years since it became available I also make sure that the sugar

and the teas I use are not only Organic, but also Fair Traded. That

means that the people who grow and process the crops are given a fair

wage. A difference of a few dollars for us can mean the difference

between a life and starvation for a whole family, in many of the tea

and sugar producing areas of the world.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

Bev,

What brand of sugar do you use? I mentioned the turbinado, but I saw

organic sugar in my reg. grocers. Didn't know whether I should trust

the claim.

I never heard of the Fair Trade. I think it's a good idea to support

them, that is why I pay a bit more for things from my local health

food store than buying from the reg. grocers. How do I know if my

products support the Fair Trade?

Hi Jan and EveryOne,

I've always used Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, (sugar)from Wholesome

Foods. I buy it from my local health food store. Once I got a

different brand and it did not work as well so I stick to the

Wholesome brand.

The sugar i use is light blonde in color. I have tried using darker

sugars and didn't like the taste...since I make a lot of Kombucha for

the Kombucha Manna Drops I make from the Kombucha Colonies, plus KT

for drinking, I buy the Wholesome Organic sugar in bulk 25 pound bags..

If tea or sugar is fair traded it has a label that says so on the

package. You can see a picture of the Certified Organic and Fair

Traded labels on our Kombucha Manna Drops home page at:

Jan wants to know...

I never heard of the Fair Trade. I think it's a good idea to support

them, that is why I pay a bit more for things from my local health

food store than buying from the reg. grocers. How do I know if my

products support the Fair Trade?

Since this set-up won't allow Cut & Paste dash across to:-

http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/

Where you can see the logo which brands all " Fair Trade " , on our side of the

Wet anyway. Don't know if it's universal.
