My day started with making kombucha. Last night I sterilized the jar to put it in. This morning I made the first step of kombucha which is putting tea bags in boiling water and then adding lots of sugar. Then add that mixture to a larger jar of water and add the kombucha scoby. It is a lot of steps and waiting for things to boil and then for them to cool down. It is done and now it sits and waits for 4-15 days. I tried a sip of the concoction and it tasted tart and sweet at the same time.
The scoby is the yellow thing floating on the top. The scoby is a slimy round thing that comes in a liquid. Scoby is “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast”. Fermentation is a chemical process in which carbohydrates like sugar or starch turn into alcohol or acid.
After making the kombucha I went for a walk for about 30 minutes. Lucky had gone with the dog walker so I was on my own. I went on a new path and I liked it a lot. I may use this path now for awhile.
I bought some streaming movies. There is a film festival coming in June and I bought a season pass and 6 movies. Then I bought Cruella for this weekend for something fun to do.
Oh, out of the blue my health insurance sent me a letter that my monthly fee amount has been decreased. I am not sure why but who am I to argue with them??
Until tomorrow...
