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!

Rosemary Leaf & Yellow Dock Root Water Kefir

Simple ingredients, yet powerful. Rosemary leaf, the delicious and dominant flavor, is a great all-around stimulant and tonic. Yellow dock root boasts a long list of beneficial properties and traditional uses. Organic, whole herbs preserve the medicinal components and offer sustainable, long-term healing while providing a boost of flavor and natural carbonation. I personally use yellow dock root several times a week, and always feel more brighter and cheerful afterwards. My family reports feeling more “giggly” after consuming my yellow dock root drinks! Clean liver = better moods.

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.

Apple & Oregon Grape Root Kombucha

Oregon Grape Root plays a vital role in healing gut damage. True healing is such an inside job, is it not? And holistic healing is entirely personal which requires committed determination and unwavering perseverance. We exercise sovereignty over our health when we intentionally choose to engage in actions that are consistent with our values. Have you ever had a visceral response to a situation (or experience)? This is your paramount gut speaking to you. Recent research has shown that the gut is even more important than the brain in the human body. Wow! I paired this incredible herb with organic apples. The sweet apple flavor intensifies the naturally crisp, apple-like flavor of kombucha.

Apple & Celery Seed Kombucha

Confession: I am addicted to pairing apples and celery together. From smoothies to soups to salsas, diced apples and celery are a savored indulgence in my home. (I even use celery seed powder in my homemade multivitamin.) Sweet and juicy. Green and fresh. I hope you enjoy this flavor as much as I do! The sweet apple flavor intensifies the naturally crisp, apple-like flavor of kombucha. Eating seasonally is extremely beneficial to the health and integrity of the physical body. I have been waiting until the fall to present these mouthwatering apple blends. Celery Seed provides key nutrients to nourish and replenish.

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!

Irresistible and juicy, fresh red apples are a staple of autumn. The sweet apple flavor intensifies the naturally crisp, apple-like flavor of kombucha. Eating seasonally is extremely beneficial to the health and integrity of the physical body. I have been waiting until the fall to present these mouthwatering apple blends. Eleuthero Root is a treasured adaptogen in the herbal practice, and for good reasons!

Papaya & Elder Berries Kombucha

Delicious berry taste with a plethora of immune-boosting properties. Excellent beverage to have on hand, especially with the increased travel during Labor Day weekend. Kombucha balances the pH in the body, detoxifies the liver (leading to better moods), and increases energy levels (due to the naturally-occurring B vitamins). Use this fresh goodness to maintain your health all weekend long!
