Kombucha Scoby Recipe

For Kombucha recipe, click on this link. I have been making Kombucha at home using my Assam Black tea. I did not realize just how simple it is to make.

All you need is black tea, unrefined sugar and for the first batch of scoby, 1 cup plain […]

Iced Fruity Apple Pie Chai

Iced Fruity Apple Pie Chai

I was recently given recipes for various iced chai to make but felt that steeping black tea for as long as suggested made the tea bitter. I like my recipe below and have tested it favourably at events that I do. The fruit teas make a great substitute to fruit juices packed with sugar.Recipe works best with Assam Mint, Rooibos Spearmint, or caffeine free fruit teas.Steep caffeinated teas for 5 to 7 minutes. Caffeine free […]
