Re: Recipes Using KT Vinegar

[Guest guest]

Hi Kellie - There was an interesting thread a while back on pickled

eggs...I think Rusty and others posted their recipes, and the recipes

sound delicious and not at all boring. I'd search the archives using

pickled and eggs as search terms. Also, don't forget beauty

applications. You could use KT vinegar as a hair rinse.

Best wishes,

>I think Rusty and others posted their recipes.

-

Hard boil some eggs and peel.

Stale eggs peel easier and if you refrigerate the boiled egg in shell for a few

hours then douse in boiling water for 10 seconds before peeling it helps.

Half fill jar with peeled eggs. Fill to top with TART KT Vinegar.

Don't pack the jar with eggs, leave lots of room for Vinegar.

Leave 3 weeks covered with coffee filter or cotton cloth.

You may still have some life left in the KT and don't be surpried if a slight

scoby forms on top.

Optional: Add some Garlic cloves and/or chile pepppers to the pickling jar.

Don't add to Brewing KT, just add to the pickling solution.

The finished product will be stained brown from the tea but some of that is

surface and can be wiped down if you prefer.

I like them right out of the jar.

Yes, it keeps dandruff at bay.

So does any vinegar.

Not in my experience. I find that my larger containers actually brew

You don't have to freeze it. Vinegar keeps just fine at room temp. Just

put it in gallon jars in a dark closet or pantry cupboard. Can close off

the tops.

The vinegar can be used for any culinary purpose vinegar is normally used

for, including salad dressings and marinades. It's also very good

sprinkled on steamed vegetables.

Hi Kellie,

Kombucha vinegar is great for adding to a bath or splashing on after a

shower. Makes a really good hair rinse for untreated hair, and is good

as a skin toner. You can also use it in most of the same ways you use

regular vinegar except I remember reading that you are not supposed to

use it for canning, don't remember why at this moment. Perhaps it is

not acidic enough?

I am sure there are lots of other ideas for using Kombucha Vinegar too

:-))

KT vinegar is a lot more acidic than regular vinegar.

Hi and EveryOne,

Hmmmm.... then I don't know why I read that you should not use KT

vinegar to pickle things. If I get a chance I will try to find that

reference and post it here. A bit too busy at the moment.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

In general, homemade vinegar is officially not recommended for critical

canning purposes because its acidity can vary. If one were going to use it

in a situation in which the vinegar was depended on to make a canned

vegetable acidic enough not to spoil, then really it should be tested to

make sure it is properly acidic. What that number would be I don't

actually know.

But that is the only reason not to use it. If one educates themselves on

the matter and tests the vinegar before using it, it can be done.

This reminds me of the fermented eggs that many Asian stores carry, I

will definately try this!
