Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Dear , I use one and one-third cups of sugar to three litres of water and seven black tea bags. If i harvest in six and one-half days at 78 to 80 degrees F, it comes like a sweet-tart apple cider. If I brew much longer, it gets too tart and I have to add sugar and Cherry Coke or Wild Cherry Pepsi. Does that cancel out the gooodies? Now, if I have to brew out in the open lving room until my kitchen is finiahed, I don't know what I will get. Blessings on you all. LOve. MArge.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi Marge, The sugar and other stuff doesn't " cancel out the goodies " in KT, but it does make you sicker. Weston A. Price, DDS went all over the world looking for people who were healthy. He found that healthy people did not eat white flour and white sugar. See www.westonaprice.org They are very into KT, by the way. Also, diabetics take note: the chemical alloxan is added to white flour to make it whiter and brighter. It unfortunately destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, the ones that make insulin. Hope that helps, Re: Sugar. > > Dear , > > I use one and one-third cups of sugar to three litres of water and seven > black tea bags.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ok, so i am using almost the right amount. I use 4 green and 2 black for my brew. This last brew came out a bit sour tasting though, not sure why that was. Thanks for all the help namaste > > Dear , > > I use one and one-third cups of sugar to three litres of water and seven > black tea bags.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yep, the longer white flour sits on the shelf the whiter it gets <yuk!>. Didn't know about it screwing up the panceas though. Thank-you for posting this tidbit of info. TTFN Sue.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I use raw sugar, and honey, or honey and malt have been used successfully too. Raw sugar isn't as highly refined as white, and brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added back in to it. Many people won't use anything but white sugar to make Kombucha. It feeds the culture not us 8) TTFN Sue (au). sian jones wrote: > so what is the best kind of sugar to use to brew kombucha? > > Sue McEwen wrote: Yep, the longer white > flour sits on the shelf the whiter it gets <yuk!>. > Didn't know about it screwing up the panceas though.
