Hari ni nak nak crite ttg kombucha uolls.

Tak ada kaitan dgn PRN Sarawak atau Moo yg hilang majoriti.

Ini thread ttg minuman pro biotik yg boleh dibuat sendiri kat rumah.

Kombucha ni is the westernized and commercial name for this drink.

Kitadi nusantara ni will probably know it as air mut mut atau air cendawan mekah

Many of us think Kombucha ni org Barat yg cipta, but actually its a supplement/health drink that has been prepared by our tok nenek and moyang2 dulu

Biasa diorang buat dlm tempayan kecik. Sorok kat tempat gelap. Cedok minum bila ada org sakit kat umah gituh.

Boleh read a bit here about air cendawan Mekah ni

The art of making kombucha ni was not passed down from the earlier generations to us. I studied the gap of transfer of knowledge and found the kelompongan at the mid 1970s.

Masa tu most houses di Msia started getting piped water. Piped water ada chlorine.

Now, the SCOBY or the cendawan used to make kombucha is not compatible wt chlorine. Chlorine kills off the SCOBY.

That might be where we lost the handing down of the art of making the air mut2

SCOBY ni is Self Containing Biorganism By Yeast. Dia yg jagi agen penaoaian bagi air teh manis tuh.

Orang2 tua2 panggil ni cendawan mekah.

I asked many org2 tua dulu bakper panggil cendawan mekah? Bakper boleh buat air mut2 nih?

Dari kompilasi keterangan beberapa orang mak dapat this conclusion.

Dulu2 org gi ke Mekah naik kapal laut. The journey took a few months to and fro.

Diorang bawak air teh sebalang. Nak minum atas kapal. Dulu tak dok Tupperware lagi.

During the journey the tea gets sourish, ada microorganism floating dlm dia.

But they continued drinking it, and suprisingly they felt better and healthier.

When their pilgrimage is over, they continued drinking the fermented tea, but as a supplement pula.

Sbb teh ni actually is a very healthy concoction that contains probiotic and macribiotic and it helps boost your immune system.

Mak tepek sini ya the benefits of drinking kombucha

Jappp... ya. Tgh ramai org kat Cafe. Jap lagi mak bagi resepi buat kombucha ya.

Kat Cafe ni we make our own Kombucha. I brew them up to 15 liters per batch. Harvest every 5-6 days.

Lps harvest we then infused them with other plants dr Kebun. Contohnya roselle, pandan, lemongrass, ginger etc.

Lps infused for 48hours, baru we sell it chilled to our customers.

If uolls buat kat rumah, infusekan dgn fresh fruits lah. Sedap sikit. Guna aloe vera pun sedap. Grapes, apple and oranges works well.

Kalo suka spicy2 use cinnamon sticks and clove pun nice

Kat Cafe mak infuse guna dried botanicals sbb we make in big batches. Mak guna dried roselle, dried pandan, dan dried lemongrass

Bila kita buat sendiri we decide what ingredients goes into it. We decide how much sugar we wanna have in it at the end of fermentation - timing of harvest tuh.

Lebih baik drpd minum Vitagen or Yakult yg ada added flavours, preservatives dan colourings

Our family takes kombucha as our daily supplement for healthy guts. We save money from buying an array of multivitamins from pharmaceuticals companies.

Besides eating healthy, kombucha is a an add on to a balanced diet

Ramai yg tanya pasal how to make kombucha. Maybe the diagram I affixed up there is confusing and ada terms yg vague.
