who, me?

oh, nothing. just drinking a delicious glass of homemade kombucha. this is batch number three, and while it's still not perfect (not fizzy enough), it's way better than my second batch was. which is funny because last time i was quite scientific about the whole thing and this time i was just in a hurry - i lost track of how long i'd fermented the kombucha, and i bottled it quickly and added 1/2 cup of apricot mango juice to each bottle. i also tasted it a lot sooner after putting it in the fridge (maybe three days, instead of closer to a week). so it's sweet/sour, but not too much of either, and has a hint of carbonation. for my next batch, i'm using earl grey tea instead of plain black tea.
