I'd love to make kombucha at home - nothing that involves sweet tea can be bad imo! - but right now I can't afford a starter. But that's okay - maybe I should try it bottled first anyway to see if we like it. Is the bottled about the same flavor (if it's not fruit flavored) as homemade?
I want to do my own sauerkraut, too - I love that with kale in the winter. Where do you mamas find directions for sauerkraut?
p.s. "Fermenting Mamas" would make a great name for a rock band.
