Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hello all! I've got a story to share with you. Hope you enjoy it. Since July, I've been dabbling in gem therapy, the idea being that crystals have healing properties. Someone suggested that I add a bit of gem elixir to my KT. Since gem elixirs are simply made by placing a gem or crystal in spring water overnight, then diluting the water half-and-half with wine vinegar, I thought what the heck, it can't hurt. (Yeah, believe me, I am JUST as weird as most of us on this list, you betcha.) Anyways, I collected all of the crystals I had, put them out during the lunar eclipse a few months ago, then diluted them with homemade wine vinegar. Okay, enough with the woo-woo stuff. When I went to use the citrine elixir (one of my favorites), I saw that it had formed -- what's this? -- a tiny baby scoby on top of the bottle! I said, hello, little one, and wondered to myself if it would indeed produce KT. I popped it into a quart jar during my weekly brewing day (using the hibiscus tea!) and checked it the next week. Well, that tiny little " scoby " actually grew, and also, it actually seems to be producing something very, very much like KT! It may be simply a vinegar offshoot of some sort, but it tastes wonderful! I'm going to continue making wee batches of KT with this " citrine scoby " , and perhaps the other elixirs will produce their own scobies, each with their own attributes! Namaste! -- Sylvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
