We had a pretty long, hot day today. We spent quite a bit of our day outside tending to 2 different gardens, waiting around my husbands office for our car to get fixed (it needed a new battery), and just enjoying ourselves in the yard. After a good hour of all of us running around playing in the afternoon sun, I decided it was time for a nice cold snack so I came in to see what I could find. My fridge was pretty empty but like usual there was lots of kombucha and water kefir and in the freezer I found some frozen fruit (it was a tropical fruit blend), so I decided to dump them into my Ninja and see what happened.
With what I put in I wound up with about 6 large servings:
4 cups of frozen fruit
2 cups of kombucha (this batch happened to be flavored with orange juice)
2 cups of water kefir (I used plain)
I dumped it all into the blender and ran it on high for a few seconds.
You can add a bit more liquid for a more liquid slushie or use less and have a sorbet.
My kids all went crazy for it and they all came back for seconds! I couldn't help myself, I had to have seconds as well.
Next time I make this, I think I will sneak in some greens just to give it a little more of a nutrition punch.
We made fermented slushies tonight and I agree...they were a hit! Great idea Thomasa! I used 50:50 plain kombucha and cherry water kefir with frozen strawberries and ice cubes. We'll be making this again! Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I am glad you enjoyed them. Cherry water kefir sounds really yummy, I am going to have to try that. Thanks!

I'm so happy I found your blog. It's helped a whole lot. I too like kombucha, but never buy it bc it's like 4 dollars a bottle in California. I didn't know it was so easy to make. I just read some stuff that told me how to make it. I hope you can still get back to me and let me know how to make the fruit kombucha? If not I'll hopefully find it online.

ReplyDeleteKomucha is very easy, you just have to get your hands on a SCOBY and starter. I would suggest looking up a local Weston A Price chapter or even go to Facebook and see if you have a local natural living or foodie page. People also have success growing a SCOBY from store bought kombucha.
ReplyDeleteI think Cultures for Health is a great resource. Here is a link on making kombucha. http://www.culturesforhealth.com/kombucha
It can be so much fun to experiment with flavors once you feel comfortable with the whole process.
