Date: May 08, 2007 11:05PM I bought some today.
[www.gtskombucha.com] It's kind of gross. Weird almost like soda but sour and fizzy. I can't decide if I want to bother trying the other flavors if the supposed health benefits are worth it. "Kombucha Supports: Digestion Metabolism Immune System Appetite Control Weight Control Liver Function Body Alkalinity Anti-Aging Cell Integrity Healthy Skin&Hair" Folic Acid 25% Vitamin B2 20% Vitamin B6 20% Vitamin B1 20% Vitamin B3 20% Vitamin B12 20% + Probiotics and Animo Acids" Opinions?

Date: May 08, 2007 11:09PM LOL! it's tangier and bubblier when you make it yourself. you can use it like vinegar on salads when it gets really funky...
i posted on the other thread. i like kombucha, but haven't drunk it for two years or so. might start making it again as i think i might need more probiotics. but i don't think you should use it if you don't like it. i know many people who get addicted to it (my husband and i drank it like sweet ice tea in the south) and others who can't stand it. listen to your mouth. it's a 'processed' raw food, so some don't even consider it truly raw. maybe it's good for you, but maybe not. peace- Re: Anyone drink Raw Kombucha ?

Date: May 10, 2007 03:16PM Yes, sometimes I get a nice little buzz from it-- a little extra energy and ever-so-slight feeling of euphoria. Sharrhan: [www.facebook.com] Re: Anyone drink Raw Kombucha ?

Date: May 10, 2007 04:46PM the buzz could be a result of the .5% alcohol (a shot of beer) :p

Date: May 10, 2007 06:45PM I've been making it at home, and adding some pureed fruit to it, like mangos and strawberries. I love it! Re: Anyone drink Raw Kombucha ?

I think beer is about 10 proof, yet I get the same buzz off 8 oz of kombucha that I'd have to drink 2 12-oz bottles of beer to get. That's wild that it would do that to me. I won't drive after drinking kombucha! Re: Anyone drink Raw Kombucha ?

Date: May 12, 2007 09:05PM it doesn't make the kitchen smell vinegary. but the large glass jar on top of the fridge with the 'mushroom' growing on it does tend to get funny responses from roommates. i had one lady we were living with call it my 'science experiment.'
i'd make my own again if i started drinking it. it tastes different, stronger, and it feels better to me. peace- Re: Anyone drink Raw Kombucha ?

Date: May 13, 2007 04:33AM I didn't see this thread when I posed my question about this drink....found some here at our co-op, and seems like a drink that one must accustom themselves to. I didn't like it...neither did my boys. Is there some other drink that is like this that does the same but doesn't come out my nose when I drink it through a straw?
