Very nice article. Great to hear more about Kombucha. Thanks for spreading the word.
One small note, I recommend bold*NOT*bold using cheesecloth as it is too loose and allows fruit flies to get through. Always a cotton cloth cover is best.

Raw-men w/Kombucha Broth
Here’s what you need:
1 butternut squash
3 cups of Kombucha
2-3 shiitake mushrooms
1 radish
1 piece of raw coconut
1 piece of raw papaya
parsely or green onion to taste
Here’s what ya do:
1. Using a spiralizer, cut a piece of the butternut squash into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, cut the butternut squash into thin strips.
2. Pour the Kombucha over the “noodles”. Add the shiitakes. For an enhanced flavor, cover and let sit in the fridge for 24 hours.
3. Add your garnishes:
radish = fish cake,
coconut & papaya = boiled egg
parsely or green onion for color and flavor
Spice it up!
To give this broth a richer “meatier” flavor, you could use rooibos in the primary fermentation stage of your Kombucha Tea.
To flavor the broth, you could also add:
fresh herbs: thyme, basil, rosemary
fresh garlic cloves
cayenne or chili powder
Raw-talian Dressing
Here’s what you need:
2 tbsp Dulse Seasoning
1/4 cup Kombucha
2/3 cup of olive oil
Here’s what ya do:
1. Add dulse, Kombucha & olive oil to dressing cruet.
2. Shake vigorously until all ingredients are combined.
If it is a sealed bottle, open cautiously as there may be a release of carbonation from shaking the Kombucha.
Spice it up!
Similar to flavored vinegars and oils, simply add a small amount of the flavor you’d to imbue into the KT. The longer it steeps, the more flavor will be imparted to the KT. You might remove the flavoring after a few days once it has the taste you like.
Here are some suggestions:
fresh herbs: thyme, basil, rosemary
fresh garlic cloves
cayenne or chili powder
