Kombucha and Beyond: Natural health drinks
Description
Energy Tonics - Kombucha and Beyond
Join Foodwisdom at the UBC Farm to learn how to make your own nutritious health drinks. The workshop will start with Kombucha, an ancient fermented beverage that has reputed health benefits. We'll also focus on Bieler broth (a detoxifying broth made from fresh vegetables and herbs), barley water (a grain drink with multiple health benefits), beet kvaas (a nourishing fermented beet drink), potassium tea (which helps to regulate blood pressure), Rejuvelac (a digestive aid made from grains), moroccan mint tea, and our own Foodwisdom nutrient dense hot cacao which will fuel your winter afternoons and warm your evenings.
Foodwisdom is a family run social enterprise that delivers food literacy programs in schools and the community at large. It was launched in response to the statistic that today’s generation of kids is the first generation at risk of living shorter life spans than their parents, largely due to diets featuring low-dense, high-sugar and processed foods. Foodwisdom works to preserve traditional food skills and improve access to whole, nutrient-dense foods. To find out more please visit foodwisdom.ca.
