Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 Hello, I speak Mandarin Chinese and I am telling my coworkers (who are Chinese) that I'm drinking Kombu-cha (cha is tea) and they all think I'm saying " scary " tea (kongbu) - so what is the Mandarin equivalent of Kombu - I think Kombu is japanese... thanks! hannah ps I put dried cherries in one bottle of brew and it is nice and tart! oh yeah - i'm also using organic raw turbinado sugar at a 1:1 ratio, but find that the brew is kind of sweet (after 8 days - i'm letting it continue to ferment in the bottles and taste them every day to see how the flavor progresses). In other dishes I notice that the 1:1 ratio is too sweet - should I use less sugar? Any thoughts appreciated. http://www.hannahcrum.com " Well behaved women rarely make history.
