The benefits of fermented food and drink are vast – they cut down on waste, contain probiotics which can improve gut health, and create mouthwatering flavor! Join Miranda LeonJones to focus on two fermented beverage recipes you can make at home. We’ll begin with basic kombucha care and feeding, and finish with wild fermented ginger beer, one of the more “finicky ferments”. We will create (and taste!) as we go! Each attendee will leave with a kombucha SCOBY and ginger beer starter bug. This is a beginner class suited towards individuals who are familiar with basic principles of kitchen safety and are capable of using a sharp knife. Note that the final recipes may contain >1% alcohol, depending on duration of fermentation period (up to the discretion of the student).
Miranda LeonJones is a self-proclaimed fermentation geek with something yummy bubbling in every corner of her kitchen.

Miranda has years of experience fermenting everything under the sun and is thrilled to share the transformational magic of fermentation with you!
