Kombucha: ITSALIIIIVVE!!!!!!

I squeaked with pleasure this morning when I went to the workshop to obsessively check on the kombucha; it was happily floating on the surface of the jar full of sweet tea, swirling in its blobby membranous slime.  YAY!

What is this kombucha you speak of? It sounds... ominous...

Kombucha is this weird frisbee-shaped fungus (some would say it is a type of mushroom)that ferments the sugar in the sweet tea and makes a drink that's apparently full of b-vitamins and other antioxidants, above the normal antioxidants found in tea.

I gotta update on the kombucha project, because it took a turn for the worse! :(

Hi MJ.FTW, my apologies for not posting your comment earlier!

I'm not really sure what kombucha is and do not know if it is related to rice in any way. I just know I now have two jars of it on top of my refrigerator and they're multiplying like crazy. That's for another post, however :)
