Pro-biotic Drinks Workshop

This past Saturday we were lucky enough to have Andrea Wheeldon teach us about fermented drinks.

To begin Andrea demonstrated how to make a ginger-orange whey based drink. By adding whey from yogurt you create a drink full of beneficial pro-biotics similar to yogurt, whey adds wonderful good bacteria to your gut. We all got a chance to sample some and it was amazing! Gingery and tart.

Next Andrea introduced water kefir. We all got a taste test and a chance to make our own orange/lemon flavored water kefir to take home. Water kefir is a drink with over 40 strains of pro-biotics built right in, it is fizzy and satisfying and good for your body. A great alternative to pop!

Finally Andrea taught us about Kombucha. This is a tea based drink that helps to cleanse your body. Also fizzy and delicious! Some of us even got to take home a SCOBY to make our own Kombucha at home.

Thanks Andrea for such a tasty and educational workshop!
