Elder Berries & Ginger Root Kombucha

Research has shown that our individual microbiome is as unique as our fingerprint. Incredible! Both of these herbs are effective for improving the health of the microbiome. Raw kombucha is packed with beneficial bacteria, yeasts, acids, and enzymes to increase diversity in the microbiome. Better than a probiotic (which delivers the same strains of beneficial bacteria over and over again), this brew provides a diverse range of living goodness from a thriving culture and medicinal herbs. Elder berries create the flavor profile with a rich, berry taste and offer a plethora of immune-boosting properties. (Watch out for synthetic vitamin C supplements listed as “ascorbic acid” or “citric acid.” Ascorbic or citric acid are derived from mold or fermented GMO corn. Yikes!) Ginger Root is revered as one of the best herbs for whole body wellness and longevity. Spicy and sweet, this blend provides extra carbonation from the select herbs. Absolutely delicious!

Pomegranate & Tulsi (Rama Holy Basil) Kombucha

While the reality of daily chemical exposure cannot be denied, regular consumption of tulsi not only helps protect and detoxify the cells and organs in the body, but tulsi can help reduce toxic stress by relaxing and calming the mind and offering many psychological benefits. There are good reasons as to why tulsi has been affectionately called “The Elixir of Life.” (I selected the Rama variety, which has a more mellow flavor.) Pomegranates provide an abundance of antioxidants to nourish and heal cellular damage. Choosing this hand-crafted brew has the potential to nourish growth to perfect health and promotes a long life.

Raw Honey & Rose Petals Water Kefir

This delicate, feminine flavor is one of my (many!) favorites. We celebrated my birthday last month by making homemade ice cream with this exact flavor combination. Let us keep the celebration going! I infused organic rose petals for 12 hours, leaving behind a medicinal-level, gentle rose flavor. I source raw wildflower honey from the local beekeepers at Sunrise Bee Co (they work very hard to make sure their honey does not crystallize, and truly have the best raw honey – you can taste the difference!). Raw honey delivers a nutritional boost in living form. This combination results in a naturally sweet taste that is elegant and graceful. Both of the intricate flavor profiles shine through for an exquisite experience.

Elder Berries & Rosehips Kombucha

Research has shown that our individual microbiome is as unique as our fingerprint. Incredible! Both of these herbs are effective for improving the health of the microbiome. Raw kombucha is packed with beneficial bacteria, yeasts, acids, and enzymes to increase diversity in the microbiome. Better than a probiotic (which delivers the same strains of beneficial bacteria over and over again), this brew provides a diverse range of living goodness from a thriving culture and medicinal herbs. Elder berries create the flavor profile with a rich, berry taste and offer a plethora of immune-boosting properties. Rosehips are one of the highest sources of herbal vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and increases immunity. (Watch out for synthetic vitamin C supplements listed as “ascorbic acid” or “citric acid.” Ascorbic or citric acid are derived from mold or fermented GMO corn. Yikes!)

Ceylon Cinnamon Bark & Lemon Balm Water Kefir

A sweet cinnamon luxury! Creamy and spicy, medicinal-level ceylon cinnamon combines with lightly citrusy lemon balm. Ceylon cinnamon is a powerful anti-inflammatory and tastes delicious. A seasonal favorite! Lemon balm encourages a positive outlook and boosts the mood. As I sip on this brew, I feel renewed and inspired to handle anything that unfolds today.

Blueberry & Beet Water Kefir

You asked, and I listened! I have received so many requests to pair two produce items together. Naturally, I have a purpose in mind: to provide the most nutrient dense and healing nourishment without compromising the taste. Here it is! Whole, pureed blueberries retain the fiber and complex array of vitamins – there is a reason why they are affectionately referred to as “ninja berries.” Beets are quite possibly the healthiest vegetable to detoxify the liver. (Healthy livers equal healthy moods and robust vitality!) Both flavors combine for a refreshingly clean elixir.

Pomegranate & Plantain Leaf Kombucha

Plantain Leaf is a must-have herb for every naturally-minded home. This powerful anti-inflammatory has an incredible ability to draw poisons from the physical body, both internally and externally, yet is gentle enough for children, pregnant/nursing women, or the immunocompromised. Pomegranates provide an abundance of antioxidants to nourish and heal cellular damage. In this hand-crafted brew, pomegranates present rich berry tartness while plantain leaf offers a subtle earthy and peppery taste.

Lime & Mullein Leaf Water Kefir

We went camping last weekend, and my children made some friends at the campground. I later heard their new friends coughing profusely – the deeply rooted, mucousy, painful coughing. I squeezed fresh lime juice and infused mullein leaf to naturally support our immune systems, and this flavor was created! Mullein leaf has a neutral flavor, so the fresh-squeezed lime juice combines with raw water kefir for a natural limeade taste. My children could not stop drinking this! And guess what? We maintained our health and vitality the entire weekend!

Roasted Carob & Peppermint Leaf Water Kefir

The seasonal flavor for this week! Also, the first time I have paired two herbs together in one flavor. I enjoy this brew over ice in lieu of an afternoon iced coffee. Organic roasted carob pods have a unique flavor that is similar to a nutty caramel. Peppermint is a popular flavor during this season, but there is nothing artificial or sugar laden here! Just pure, organic whole herbs that work synergistically together to nourish and heal with 0 grams of sugar.

Blueberry & Marshmallow Root Water Kefir

Blueberry and marshmallow root intertwine delicately for a festive, health-boosting dance. Whole, pureed blueberries retain the fiber and complex array of vitamins to nourish cells and fight free radicals. Marshmallow root serves a vital role in healing and balancing the body. When I was healing my leaky gut, marshmallow root played a vital role in strengthening the integrity of my gut lining. Both flavors combine for a refreshingly clean elixir. Absolutely delightful!
