WORKSHOP: Kefir & Kombucha by Vandana Taxali

June 6, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

|Recurring Event (See all)

- $50

Fermented and cultured beverages are some of the oldest and most universal parts of human cuisine. These nutritious, probiotic drinks nurture our internal microbiome, support our immune system and can even help improve our moods!

Ancient tonic drinks like kefirs are not hard to make, and mastering the process gives you total control over the ingredients and flavours — it’s like a probiotic supplement in a glass. Kombucha is a digestive aid and contains many beneficial bacteria, acids and enzymes that help us extract maximum nutritional value from what we eat.

In this fun, hands-on workshop, Vandana Taxali will teach you how to make these delicious sour effervescent tonics which are far healthier — and way cheaper — than soda pops and other store-bought drinks.

In class you’ll learn how to make chai kombucha, coconut water kefir and a chocolate coconut kefir smoothie. You’ll get a change to be creative by making your own custom version with various flavours such as sour apple, blueberry, cherries, ginger, lavender, chia, mint, cacao, cinnamon, turmeric and matcha flavoured kombucha.
