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.

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.

Watermelon & Calendula Flowers Water Kefir

Watermelon is returning for the final time this season! Whole, pureed watermelon is the dominant flavor, and is almost too good to be true. Satisfying and pleasant, watermelon pairs well with raw water kefir for a charming elixir. Calendula flowers promote cellular repair and aid in restoring optimal gut health, while imparting a neutral and palatable taste. (I personally use Calendula on a daily basis – both internally and externally.) I hope you enjoy this delicious brew as much as I do!

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!)

Marjoram Leaf & Elder Flowers Water Kefir

The berries of the Elder plant are often consumed (Elder Berries) but the flowers deliver additional benefits unique to their constituents! (Personally, I prefer to use the berries for daily immune support, and the flowers for stronger immune boosting after exposure.) The flowers have stronger medicinal properties. Elder flowers provide a delicate and subtle taste, while marjoram dominates this flavor with a floral freshness. Marjoram has an amazing ability to balance the system and reset the detox pathways, leading to decreased pain from inflammation, restored hormones, and increased vitality.

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.

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.

Blackberry & Hyssop Kombucha

With our modern lifestyles, we are exposed to toxins on a daily basis. For the first time in history, I feel that we actively need to detox to intentionally remove the build up of toxins. Hyssop is an effective detoxifier which gently cleanses the whole system, offering a rich berry flavor. Juicy, ripe blackberries impart a pleasantly sweet taste and soften the crisp flavor of kombucha. These two unite for a harmonious coupling.

Cantaloupe & Hawthorn Berry Water Kefir

Melon and berries unite for a sweet celebration! Fresh, juicy cantaloupe is intensified in sweetness from the water kefir fermentation. Hawthorn berries offer a delicate berry flavor. As always, there is no sugar added – just pureed cantaloupe, hawthorn berry infusion, and fermented water kefir. Simple ingredients, yet powerful. Hawthorn berries boast a long list of beneficial properties and traditional uses for the heart. A delicious treat to nourish your wellbeing. Hydrating your health should be enjoyable!
