Brew Kombucha
Kombucha uses simple ingredients to create a delicious, healthy beverage, like pop but full of digestive enzymes. It is prized for its healing properties! It is fantastic for your gut health and as an alcohol-free treat.
At this workshop, we will learn how to brew and care for this tasty, living drink. You will go home with a jar of brew and the SCOBY so you can prepare it on your own and share it with your friends.
Belly of the Beast Kombucha has been brewed in Peterborough since 2016. Now situated at the Food Shop in downtown Peterborough, this kombucha is crafted in small batches. The Food Shop is committed to the local food system and sourcing ingredients ethically. They offer a rotation of core and seasonally inspired kombucha in their store at 374 Water St., as well as right here at the Seasoned Spoon!
Workshop is $5 and registration on Eventbrite is required.
