9 Oct - Sencha Green Tea F1
The last few batches all fizzed up beautifully when I gave them a stir - but this one? Almost nothing. First time using sencha, so maybe the culture didn't like the new tea? 🤔
But a new SCOBY mat formed as usually, so I'm assuming the brew is still good, just not quite as bubbly as before.
23 Oct - Flavoured
Strawberry (250g) Ginger (25g) Nutmeg (11g)
Cherry (200g) Beetroot (50g)
Lychee (250g) Grapefruit (55ml) Turmeric (20g)
25 Oct - Bottled
Strawberry Ginger Nutmeg was not good. Maybe I used too much nutmeg, or those 3 flavours just don't combine well - but it was basically undrinkable.
It was crazy fizzy though! 😂 I used a lot less fruit than usual but it was still explosive. It's only been happening with my strawberry and raspberry batches, so I'm choosing to blame the fruit!
Absolutely loooove Cherry Bettroot! Think I've finally found the right ratio of fruit to beets (4:1). You can taste the beetroot, but it's not overpowering, and it just goes so well with cherry. Suuuuuper happy with this one.
Lychee Grapefruit Turmeric is a winner too - which surprised me. I threw them together because it happened to be what I had on hand, and I didn't really expect it to work, but it really does. (I love it when I have no plan - and it works out anyway!)
The money shot 😉
