It’s no secret. I’m that crazy kombucha lady.
Y’all know I love kombucha. I sure have written enough about it… from my Lilac Blueberry kombucha to my second ferment made with roses and berries. From a cost analysis of what it costs me to make every 1/2 gallon I brew, to this crazy thing I do with my vinegary kombucha.
But today I have a treat for you, if you want to know more about this amazingly delicious way to improve your gut health.
Today, instead of writing all about this delicious stuff, how I make it, and why I love it, well, today I’m talking about it…
I spilled the beans about a perfect cup of kombucha.
Today I met up with Nicole, at Heritage Acres Market, and we talked non-stop about everything kombucha. Listen in here.
• I explain why I never use refined sugar in my kombucha, what I use instead, and why.
• I explain why I have 2 1-gallon jars of vinegary kombucha in my root cellar right now and what the heck I do with it.
• I explain why I always have at least one batch brew in the works at all times, along with my 4-gallon continuous brew.
• I fill you in on my secret for keeping my kombucha the perfect temperature at all times (even in my drafty old farmhouse during a long New England winter), using something you have in your home right now.
• I even share a deep, dark secret about my hubby and my scoby that I’ve never told anywhere else…
This is how I make my DIY kombucha.
Here are detailed answers to some common questions I get:
- If you’d like to know more about all the products I use and love for making kombucha, I rounded up all the DIY kombucha products I love on one page, right here.
- My favorite sugar farm where you can buy maple syrup? It’s here.
- Foods we grow on our homestead to use in making kombucha? I answer that question right here, over on Porch.com, along with many other great homestead-related questions answered by the experts.
- The teas I use for making kombucha? They’re included on this list.
Join me in my kitchen as I show you lots of kombucha flavors and share how I make them!
For more gut-healthy eating, consider fermenting your veggies.

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 3: 12-13
