Kombucha drink

[Ahtuba]

Ahtuba, Marina, and in what quantity?

Enough in the morning and evening for 0.5 cups, preferably on an empty stomach. But I also drink it during the day, because I love it very much. Already 6-7 years, and sugar in about six months has decreased. Was 5.5-6, now 4.7.

Insulin-dependent diabetics should probably not drink it. Here you definitely need a doctor's consultation!

Kombucha, when consumed regularly, normalizes blood sugar, tested on itself.

I would very carefully recommend it to diabetics, as it turns out to be a very sweet drink.

Do not pour in a lot of sugar, I poured it for 2 liters. 5 tablespoons. I'm ok

in the morning and in the evening, 0.5 cups each

Thank you

Hello girls. Winter has passed, and it's time for me to get my fungus. I took it out, and it immediately disintegrated into several mushrooms, I left those that look prettier, and the rest which I gave away, and which I threw out completely terrible. But now I have the topmost layer, which I left for myself, it has perforated in my center after a new fill. And immediately, literally on the second day, the tea turned dark and the mushroom sank to the bottom with one side. But I think he will recover, I just made the tea myself not the way I usually did. Why am I writing all this, I just want to know how your mushrooms survived the winter.

I drink it all the time, during the winter I shared it a couple of times

Do not pour in a lot of sugar, I poured it for 2 liters. 5 tablespoons.

I have always believed that 1 tablespoon per liter of liquid.

I brew 4 tablespoons of lodges in 2 liters of water

Tatyana, and why are you hiding it? and where.
My mushrooms don't seem to know what winter is. All the time on the table. I bake rye bread on it, make sourdough, and just drink

Means, mine are not finished ... but so pretty

ABOUT! and you can bake bread on it !!! I also want a mushroom, who has an extra one, share !?

[OlgaGera]

OlgaGera, I do not hide it, it was on my closet, the last time I filled it with a new solution on November 19, and it stood with me until February 25.

I will return to Moscow - I will leave. Prepare the jar

the last time I filled it with new solution

it happens to me too.
When changing the solution, when it's bathing day, I leave a little old spent solution. I filter it into the jar.
The mushroom is easier to work with.
And so - how much he drank - he poured so much in the evening

I will return to Moscow - I will leave. Prepare the jar

This is me! ???

This is me! ???

Yes!

Yes!

I'll prepare the can ... and wait for the command ...

after 5-7 days, you need a new solution to make sweet tea, for nutrition. And the old one, with the products of its vital activity, must be poured out.

Tanya, tell me please, and when you pour in a new batch of tea, do you add anything from the old one, that is, just fresh tea?

Why old? There, at the bottom, the remains of the waste products of the fungus, they fall from the beard to the bottom of the can - and this needs to be removed periodically.
I drain the old drink completely and prepare a new one.
True, I do not always take it out of the jar, but so, I hold the mushroom inside with my hand, and drain the leftovers. But, after 2-3 times I make sure to give him a bath completely.

Yeah, I understood, that is, 2-3 times I just pour out the finished drink, and pour neat new sweet tea, and somewhere once a month I arrange a bathhouse for him, here I already wash everything, including him, and I just pour tea, without adding a ready-made drink, huh?

Ksyusha, once again look at all the rules in great detail in the first post, there I described and showed them in great detail - and pin yourself a note to a jar of mushroom

Aha!

and I bathe all the time, while the tea is brewing, until the sugar dissolves, and then I pour everything into the jar. I dilute with cold water and put the mushroom in lukewarm tea

Girls, tell me, shared a mushroom with me, poured tea on it, but it fell to the bottom of the can and does not float up? Scary? It's been two days already

Well, let him sit - the time will come up himself
The drink is new, the decor is new, the mushroom is settling in.
How to care for him - read the topic from the very beginning, in detail

flooded it with tea, but it fell to the bottom of the can and does not float?

Wait to panic, he can still float up safely, maybe you just feel cool for him. Place in a warm place, next to (but not on) the battery or on top of the refrigerator in the kitchen, on top of the wall cabinets. As the gas begins to evolve, it will float. It needs to be poured with sweet cooled tea at room temperature. It is better to dissolve granulated sugar when you brew tea, and not pour it on the mushroom, this may cause the mushroom to burn. I somehow poured my tea, which did not cool down properly, so it turned blue and died.

Stands on the refrigerator, did everything according to the instructions. Wait

on the fridge

Tanya, does not look like not in, but on

HA! Well, I'm an owl, I still need to come to myself after sleep in order to start thinking correctly
Ksyusha, THANKS!

Sooner or later, but there comes a time when there is a lot of it and there is no one to give it to and throw it away, I don’t use it for food or cosmetics. as safe as milk? : -o

My drowned mushroom is lying, a film has surfaced on top, how long can you keep it like that?

[Olga]

Olga, and how much is already? How much mushroom was put on what proportion of milk? What is the consistency? How many times do you bet?

[Albina]

Albina, did not understand, why milk?

I think Albina confused a little of the topic, with a kefir mushroom

But, kombucha can be fermented both in milk and medicinal herbs True, you need to do this carefully, since the drink turns out to be unusual in taste, and conveys the taste of herbs, sometimes bitter Long ago, I prepared such a drink with herbs, but could not drink - it is bitter It was

Girls, I have tea, not milk

[Olga]

Olga, and you put in everything at the rate, tea and sugar. I had something like that, I poured less sugar, and the fungus went to the bottom of me, and as soon as I added tea with the missing amount of sugar to the same jar, he immediately jumped up cheerfully. This is my experience. If the mushroom is used to one amount of sugar, then it needs time to get used to less.

I think Albina confused a little of the topic, with a kefir mushroom

It seems to be just about the kefir mushroom I read.
Kombucha has been growing for a very long time, but somehow mine is not particularly for him. I got interested in the topic that someone shared the experience of growing on their own last year. I wonder how things went further.

someone shared their own cultivation experience last year. I wonder how things went further.

More than a year ago, my kombucha "turned blue and died" from the uncooled tea brew, so I thought and where I will get a new one, I don’t know, even though I’ll give you an ad. Also, somewhere here or on another forum I read how a new one is started, and I did so. I don't remember how I did it, I need to look. Somehow, the tea leaves are simply left in a warm place for a while ... And what do you think, the new mushroom started up as good as new, practically out of thin air, I still use it.

[Olga]

Olga, don't worry like that. Your new mushroom is already growing - this is the film that appeared at the top, this is a new mushroom growing. When you further renew the mushroom, the old one can be thrown away. I often throw away the old one (there is no one to give it to), I leave only the liquid and a new mushroom grows.

[Nyuschka-i]

Nyuschka-i, of course, I put less sugar
That is, now you can pour some tea and refill sent?

[Olga]

Olga, I do not know how the mushroom will behave now, because several days have passed. But if a mushroom is already growing on the surface, then it's okay. Try pouring some tea into another jar, a new fungus will grow there, and add fresh tea and more sugar to this one, maybe this one will pop up too.

In general, I poured out the old tea, poured it in with a new one, as if according to the recipe and hurray it came up !!!

Another question? I poured a thin film into another jar and how to grow it?

[Olga]

Olga, also, make tea and let it float, but some water per liter somewhere. change again in a week

If you throw away the beard, then the drink will not be available for a long time until the beard grows back.

So my mother somehow decided to take a mushroom from me, it was a long time ago, I was fond of mushroom then, and I could not prove to her that it was the lower part that is * the kitchen * - the dirt, I will throw it away! so she rejected him - she always only * clean *, left the white part, it did not work, then her mushroom came to life for me

but it’s true - it’s often boring to drink it, to follow it ... for several years without a mushroom, I saw Temka again and again I wanted to look for it again with friends, very few people have it - yeah, sorry for sugar, tea

yeah, sorry for sugar, tea

This is also an argument among people, but most do not want to bother, like with kefir, a mushroom every day.

My mushroom khan's hike has been "floating" for two days already, today I tasted it, the taste of lost tea
I don't know what to do with him

I think he lacks the strength. it happens to me too, the taste of missing tea, and after 2-3 days a ready-made drink

I also have a small "mushroom rag", though isogley I will conduct experiments to restore it, grow it - then I will make a report in detail and with a photo

I raised such a baby - I poured the surplus of the finished drink into a liter jar, poured it not through cheesecloth, put it on the window, and after a while, I don’t remember exactly, but not after 2 weeks - maximum after a week - a transparent cake was formed on the surface

I put it in a tea-sugar solution, a new mushroom has grown, my already baby

Added on Friday 08 Apr 2016 10:09 AM

I also tried to get something from the rosehip infusion, but alas

but I also wanted to save sugar - I diluted excess jam in the brewed tea, and my early jam was still quite sweet, I did not like the mushroom, this combination began to lower one edge
switched to sugar again

I poured a thin film into another jar and how to grow it?

To make this film grow, carefully add sweet tea solution along the wall. Little. And let it stand, it grows. Don't touch it unnecessarily. Just forget. Place in a bright but not sunny place. I used to grow mushrooms for my friends. Will increase.

I forgot to take the can with me to the dacha with the mushroom in October. Now I have arrived, he has become so prettier. Became a little white, plump. Nobody fed or touched him. I grew up myself. I washed and fed. Insists.

Dear members of the forum, and you have not tried to freeze or dry mushrooms, for a while, in order to restore later. I want to try to dry it, I'm tired of drinking, but the can gets in the way, I'll dry it and then after a few months I'll start using it again. What do you think something will come out or not.
