MAKE YOUR OWN KOMBUCHA w/ ELLEN HARBIN-DABBS, JULY 20TH, 10:00 AM, $30 PER PERSON

What is Kombucha? Kombucha is a lightly effervescent, fermented tea with a tart and lightly sweet taste. It has many health benefits due to the fermentation process. You can buy it in the store, but it costs a lot. You can also make it at home for a fraction of the cost. We will learn how to make the tea, ferment the tea, and flavor the final product. Everyone that attends will get a SCOBY and some starter fluid to start their own batch at home. All supplies will be provided. Just bring a pencil and journal for notes.

Ellen Harbin-Dabbs is a Tennessee native.  Growing up in the Tennessee State Park system, she learned many traditional skills that have been forgotten over time.  She was taught ways of the hearth by her mother and grandmother, and the ways of the wild by her father who was an outdoor instructor and park ranger.  Her stories and insights will keep your entertained as she passes along the knowledge of the “old ways”.

This class is part of our new Home Spun series, designed to get us back in touch with our hand-made heritage.
