does anyone make their own kombucha?

What is it?

It's a false alarm! SO easy! Scobi, tea, sugar...store in a cool dark place...done in about 10 days! I add raspberries, strawberries or something to the finished stuff in the fridge to add more flavor. As long as you have a scobi and let it sit long enough I have never had a bad batch...and it barely takes any time or thought to do.
I can't bring myself to buy it anymore because I know how simple it is to do on my own.

I got one from a friend and then they grew on their own from there. You can get them dehydrated and go from there though. Once it gets going they grow FAST. Pretty gross looking though...haha

The things I learn from you ladies! I've never heard of this before. Off to The Google to learn more.

I thought Kombucha was a no no whe breastfeeding just in case you are!

Aw sorry to hear that. I'm guessing it doesn't keep long term?

I've never had a problem. The only thing I would see as an issue is that it gets your bowels going. So you don't want to drink tons at first. You ease into it. I would imagine it would have the same effect on baby if you drank too much. I have many friends that drink kombucha during pregnancy and while BF and have never heard of any issue before you mentioned it.
