Can you make kombucha with pau d'arco tea?

[Guest guest]

Has anyone tried kombucha with pau d'arco tea? Is it true that the oils in

herbal teas degrade the scoby over time? Would the anti-candida properties of

pau d'arco tea survive the culturing process of kombucha? Or is the tea itself

unaffected, and only the sugar is altered? Thanks for your help/ideas about

this, kombucha people are definitely the most fun!

I'd strongly recommend sticking to real tea for kombucha, and drinking the Pau

d'Arco separately. The KT processing could degrade the benefits of each.

I don't know, but I would guess that the pau d' arco would resist the kombucha

bacteria....

Yet, why not try making a batch yourself and see what happens? As long as you

have more scobys in a hotel, keep the pau d arco batch separate from your

regular brew...
