Yep, That is right, I am going to make my own Kombucha Tea
using a Scoby ( looks like a mushroom but not related at all to the mushroom family)

I am doing this for RAW  probiotic, enzymes, and detoxification reasons.
I bought some Kombucha GT synergy drink yesterday and tasted the ever
so slight bubbles in it and they flavor it. I had grape with chia seeds.  the
bottle was like 4.00 like a isopure purchase.

anyhow I thought, i can make this myself.  So I am going to start with the
Kombucha Tea by using a Scoby ( also known as the Mancurian mushroom)
Then I will play around with it using pure fruit juices that I squeeze, juice, or blend
and of coarse my chia seeds. 

I will keep you all posted.   I AM SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!


PS:  consult your doctor about anything new you try. Not recommended for new post op sleevers.

Great news! Do you have the recipe? If not, I can help you out. Also, just wondering where you got the manchurian mushroom from if you don't mind me asking?
Take care

I have to tell you that I have been looking for my set of instructions all morning and can not find them. I used to use the tea as well and loved the benefits. I do believe it to be good stuff. I would tell you what I know from memory but it is not too much and it is somewhat sketchy other than that a person is not supposed to use anything metal when preparing the tea. I am so sorry as I thought I could provide you with the instructions. I will keep looking and if/hopefully when I find them, I will message you ok.

I think that you need to keep on doing all that you are doing though as you look absolutely fabulous. Not only have you lost all your weight but you look radiant(healthy) as well. I commend you highly for your efforts as I know that this is not always an easy journey.

Take Care
