Who would have thought that you could use Kombucha Tea as a facial toner? You don’t know what kombucha tea is? Check out these posts and be full of wonder about this natural fermented drink that tastes like apple cider. I’m reading Kombucha Rediscovered!: A Guide to the Medicinal Benefits of an Ancient Healing Tea by [...] I bought a coconut drink – young coconut juice with pulp by Chaokoh – this morning to replace my electrolytes and I enjoyed chewing the pulp. The little soft pieces are a good reminder that if we chew our drink, we add an enzyme – salivary amylase (doesn’t that roll off the tongue?) – to [...] Today, I washed my hands thoroughly, harvested the very well grown mother scoby from on top of my first batch of kombucha, popped it into a clean jar and poured more of the filtered liquid on top. That went into the fridge. I kept filtering the batch of kombucha into a jug, poured some into two [...] Originally, I had planned to go to the next stage of making kombucha tea on Saturday, June 13. It wasn’t looking very ready – I peaked under the tea towel and the “mother” has risen to the top, but I don’t see any bubbles. Maybe I won’t!

I had decided to make it and I haven’t even tasted it yet, but descriptions of it by [...] When I was a young girl growing up in Cardiff, Wales, my girlfriends and I would often go picking wild flowers – Bird’s Foot Trefoil, Cowslip, Ragged Robin, Meadow Crane’s Bill, and others. We would pick them, bring them home, press them between two sheets of blotting paper, place them under some encyclopedias and forget [...] One of the foods that was referred to in class yesterday was chicory coffee as a substitute for coffee. Coffee is a stimulant and a diuretic, and therefore challenging to the liver and the kidneys. Chicory coffee is supportive to the liver. What a great alternative! I bought some yesterday, and it’s made of extracts of roasted [...] I remember a German au pair girl – Elke – who came to stay with me and my family when the children were little. She wouldn’t have anything to drink with any of her meals. She said her parents always told her she shouldn’t. Why? Because if she did, it would kill (weaken?) the digestive [...] Picture me upon your knee, From the 1925 musical comedy No, No, Nanette by songwriters Irving Caesar and Vincent Youmans. Hardly a play or a novel or a sit-com was written in an English setting in the middle of the twentieth century that didn’t have one of the women getting up from her chair and making that comforting offer: “I’ll go and make us a nice cuppa tea.” |
