<span style="font-size: 16pt;">A kombucha scoby (also known as the mother) is a Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast. It
is a living organism that ferments sweeten tea to become kombucha tea. It has a long history and references to it have been found as
far back as 414 when it was given to the Japanese emperor by a Korean healer to aid in healing the emperor's dis-ease. The kombucha made its way across Asia and into Europe
where people recall their grandmothers making tea with a
floating fungus on top. Reports of the tea emerged in the 1920's when
scientists started showing interest in the 'magical' tea. Most
interest stop at the advent of WW2, but the tea made a resurgence in
the 1960's and 1970's with the health food craze. In the mid 1990's it became a big health fad
because of the benefits of the live ferment. Since then t</span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">here have been many reports</span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">of the amazing health benefits of kombucha and it is
becoming a staple in many health </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">conscious</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> households. It is simple
to make and delicious to drink!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Kombucha tea contains acetic
and lactic acid, both which have benefits for the body. It also contains a small amount of glucuronic acid (detoxifier). Normally produced by the liver, glucuronic acid is a potent detoxifier. If your liver is overloaded and/or your body is dealing
with a lot of toxins (and in today's world, who isn't?) it can be a powerful aid to help the body's
cleansing process, and help boost immune system. It is a great thirst quencher and is a tasty, bubbly alternative to the soft drinks.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">What
you will need to make kombucha:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1
gallon of water (and a glass container to hold it) (do not use flouridated or chlorinated
water, no water run through a filter. i have found that my well water is perfect for kombucha)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1
cup of sugar (it is best to use plain sugar not honey, not maple syrup or
any other sweetener. The sugar is for the mother to eat and most will
be consumed by the scoby)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">2-4
organic plain black or green tea bags</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">1
kombucha scoby</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 21.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Boil
the water, add tea and let brew. </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Add
sugar and mix thoroughly. </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">When
the tea is at room temperature you can add the scoby plus ½ -1 cup
of kombucha tea (your mother should come with some or use some from
your last batch). </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Cover
the tea with a towel (the scoby need to breath) I put a small plate
on top of the towel. Let the tea sit in a warm, dark (not direct
sunlight place) and let set for 5-7 days. </span>
</div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I
recommend that you taste the tea each day. This is a really good
way to get to know your scoby and the fermentation process. It also
gives you the opportunity to get the taste that you like best</span></div>
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Temperature
and time play an important role in making kombucha, since both are
variable they can speed up or slow down the fermentation process.</span></li>
<ul><ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
</li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16pt;">When
the tea has been </span><span style="font-size: 21.3333px;">fermented</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> to your liking it is time for the real
fun to begin! Time to flavor your kombucha, unless you like it
plain then bottom's up!</span></li>

<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">At
the flavoring point there is a lot of variation on combinations, even
on how to do it. I am going to explain how I add flavor to our
kombucha. A quick internet search will give you many other results
and ways, it is fun to see how others are making and drinking their
kombucha (I've even read about fermenting mountain dew with a
scoby!!) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">So here goes how I add flavor:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">After
I have removed the scoby and placed her in new tea, I have a
little less than a gallon of tea. I use ½ gallon mason jars to
flavor and store kombucha. Many choose to do individual bottles but I
found this to be too much work for me especially since we are home
more often than not.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I
add the flavor (fruit, herbs, etc) to the ½ gallon jar (enough to cover the bottom in most cases) and then top
off with kombucha. I let the jars sit on the counter, lightly cap
for a few hours, maybe over night. Then a cap tightly place in the
fridge to cool. We drink it at our leisure after that!</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">what
are our favorite flavors?, you ask. Well....</span></div>
<ul>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">We
love strawberry (whole strawberries covering the bottom of the ½
gallon jar)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Ginger
root (cut up fresh ginger, about a 1 inch piece)</span></div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Hibiscus
orange rose-hips (a couple of cuties peeled and cut in ½, a palm full of dried hibiscus petals, 2-4 dried rose-hips smashed). </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">We
like to add lemon to the ginger every once in a while. </span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Fresh
fruit that is just at (or a little over) ripe make a good choice
too. Cherries, blueberries, raspberries have all ended up in the
kombucha jar.</span></div>

(the previous owner, who lives 2 miles away, said that she was able to do this!)<br />
we have a perfect spot for it (it is rather large though)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
first things first, i had to remove the rocks from the spot i wanted to place the cold frame. Josh recommended that i use the wheel barrel and not buckets and the wagon, my usual way. yes usual, i have move rocks from near this same area to use in other projects around here. so i grabbed the wheel barrel and started shoveling.<br />

it is that time of year when things slow down. the holidays are over, the new years has begun. although i try to take time reflect i find that i still try to fill up my time. an online course, a retreat, stacks of books to read, play-dates.....all excuses not to rest and restore. so i am trying my hardest to slow down, a mid-morning mommy break, a cup of coffee before the boys come downstairs in the morning, yoga before they come upstairs at night. time for me.<br />
what do you do to slow down and restore?<br />

We have the opportunity to move in the next 12-14 months, to a place that has everything we could have ever dreamed of. Giddy and scared are the way to describe the possibility. First things first though, we will have to do some big things before we can confirm our big dream. one of them is the finances. although the price seems to be within reach we will definitely be tightening our purse straps. that is something quite new for us i hate to admit. so first step first, financial planning and budgeting. for the next month, maybe 2, we will be keeping an extremely detailed recorded of our money. from there we will set up a budget to start saving every penny! if you have any tips or tricks, please pass them along! i am hoping to record our journey here on the blog, for better or worse (we could not make our goals or our dream, but we would cross that bridge when we came to it).<br />
wish us luck, keep us in your prayers and let this awesome journey begin!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15657003218182344271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596089548905334753.post-88744301327421631282014-11-04T17:00:00.000-05:002015-01-22T19:23:16.013-05:00coconut chicken soup drinking soup<span style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 27.0399990081787px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Coconut chicken drinking soup </span></span><br />

Easy to make and easy to personalize. Make it, try it, never be without it again!</span><br />
<br />
{imagine a picture of granola here} it's coming soon!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">Granola</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">½ cup sweetener (honey, maple syrup)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">½ cup HOT water</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">½ cup oil (coconut is the only one I use)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">2 tsp. Vanilla</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">4-5 cups rolled/flaked grain (oats, rye, barley, wheat)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">1 cup of seeds (sunflower, sesame, flax)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">1 cup coconut</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">1 cup nuts (walnut, pecan, hazelnut, peanut, almond)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">preheat oven to 225.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">mix water and oats, let sit foe a minute or so. Add seeds, nuts and coconut, mix well.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">In a double boiler add coconut oil and honey. When the coconut oil has melted remove from heat and add vanilla, mix well.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">Slowly pour oil mixture into oat mixture. Mix until oats are well coated. Grease (I use butter) two sided-cookie sheets. Pour half the mixture on one sheet and the other half on the other sheet. Spread out, making an even layer over the cookie sheet. Put in oven. Stir every 20 minutes for an hour. After an hour stir every 15 minutes until nice golden color. About 2 hours.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: small;">This recipe is very customizable. Mix and match the ingredients, add some of your own favorite thing. When our granola is done we like to add 1 cup of dried fruit (raisins, cranisians, papaya). I bet a cup of m&amp;m would be great to add too.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> ENJOY!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15657003218182344271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596089548905334753.post-25222686726128022392014-04-17T07:00:00.000-04:002014-04-17T12:52:01.150-04:004/17/2014 This Week at My House<div style="text-align: center;">

After some reading and some blog hopping and i have decided to try what has been claimed an 'old fashion' solution, waxed clothe.<br />
<br />
<br />
the first i tried is with beeswax, here's what i did:<br />
i gathered the materials muslin and beeswax<br />

the clothe is cut to 13x13, that's because i already have a pattern cut out of plexi glass at that size.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
next i prepared the cookie sheet and the oven:</div>

not quite ready, see the wax is still solid in parts. it was at this point that i added more wax to the clothe. i made sure that the clothe was entirely covered with beeswax. i put it back in the oven for another minute or 2, until all the grated wax was melted.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
after these came out of the oven, i used a knife and spread out the wax as evenly as possible. in other makings folks have used an old paint brush (it will only be used for this purpose, beeswax doesn't clean off of those) to spread around the wax. this also will help get rid of some of the excess wax on the clothe. the wax should just cover the clothe, a nice thin layer.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
after the spread and all the clothe i hung the clothe to dry. <br />
<br />
i use these to cover the tops of my jars, i have also used them to store cheese. i am going to test them as jar covers for my ferments (kombucha, sourdough).</div>

Well I was wondering (in my ever long quest to source things locally) what oils could I use that would be considered local (there aren't any coconut trees in Michigan, lol). That brought me to ghee. I have come across things about ghee while on my searches for information, but I never really gave it more than a secondary thought of maybe some day I'll look into it more. well the time came and I did look into, I made it and I LOVE it!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I put a pound of raw butter into a thick bottom pot on medium heat or in an oven safe dish, the oven is set to 200, let it melt.</span></div>

Once melted let stand for 20 minutes. Skim the foamy crust of casein off the top, <i>do not pour it off or strain through cheese cloth</i>! . the reason you don't want to pour off the liquid is that there is whey still in the bottom. The casein can be used in vegetable dishes or to flavor and enrich bread when you have spooned off as much of the golden ghee as you can, put the remaining amount in a custard dish and place the dish in the refrigerator. </div>

Ghee should be stored in the refrigerator or it can be frozen for 6-8 months.<br />
There are a couple of things I'd like to say on this. First thing is that this is also known as clarified butter or butter oil (hhhmmm....lobster.). Ghee and clarified butter are made the same way, except for the fact that ghee is cooked a little long to allow the casein to brown (NOT burn). The browning gives the ghee it's nutty roasty flavor. In North African countries, when naturally ripened sour cream (raw) is used it is called <i>smen</i> and i have read, is stronger in flavor than ghee.<br />

oils</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>3/4 cup oil (apricot (maturing), grape seed (oily), sweet almond (normal))</li>
<li>1/3 coconut oil or cocoa butter (cocoa butter has a scent, not one i generally like with above mentioned eos)</li>
<li>1/4 tsp lanolin (optional, if you have a wool allergy. i leave it out in the summer for a lighter weight lotion)</li>
<li>1/2 - 1 ounce grated beeswax (high end for winter, low end for summer)</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>combine waters in measuring cup. set aside</li>
<li>in double boiler over low heat, combine oils. heat until just melted.</li>
<li>transfer oils to blender and let them cool to room temperature. it will start to solidify and turn creamy in color</li>
<li>turn blender on high speed (lid recommended) and slowly pour waters into blender (a slow steady stream is the best). you will hear a change in the blender. turn off, scrape sides and run again, briefly. the cream thickens as it sets. </li>
<li>pour into jars. store in a cool location</li>

you will need 2 cups flour, 2 cups water and 1 tbs yeast. mix the yeast, flour and warm water in a glass bowl (i found using a 1/2 gallon canning jar to be the best.i had josh put a hole in the plastic top so that i could fit a grommet and a bubbler in it.) give it a good stir (or shake) and set it aside in a warm place (85-95 degrees) for at least over night, but it is better leaving it 2-5 days. the sourdough should be bubbly, yeast and soury (is that a word??) smelling. you can use it in any bread recipe by replacing the yeast with the sourdough (about 1 cup of sourdough to a packet of yeast, which is about 1 tablespoon). if you want your sourdough to grow add one cup water, one cup flour to it every few days. i put the bubbler cap on mine so that the yeast can breathe and get fresh air, but other things cannot contaminate the sourdough. if you want to save your sourdough for a later date you can store it in the fridge. the cold slows down the reproductive rate of the yeast.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15657003218182344271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596089548905334753.post-39384762704659868692013-11-19T08:37:00.001-05:002015-01-22T19:24:13.834-05:00apple oatmeal bakehere's the recipe for our favorite breakfast.<br />
