I love ReadyMade Magazine – a leader in the upcycling movement, turning trash into treasure. This month I’ve got an article in ReadyMade on how to easily make your own healthy tonic of choice — kombucha – for just pennies a serving. Snag a june/july 2010 issue while it’s out, or take a peek online:

The Tao of Parsnips
3 Aug 2010
I wish I had a brownie for every time I’ve been informed that eating naturally is simply too hard. While making fancy shmancy meals can be a fun project, uber delicious healthy food doesn’t have to be complicated…

No Bake Brownies (with video)
15 Jul 2010
Undercover health benefits like antioxidants, good omega fats, potassium, magnesium (and more) nutritionally rank this dessert as more of an energy bar than an “extra 20 minutes on the treadmill indulgence.” Best of all, five ingredients plus five minutes is all it takes to go from zero to brownie.

Sweet Summer: magical date syrup meets red raspberry pops
17 Jun 2010
One of my favorite experiments thus far turns out to be one of the easiest: Red Raspberry Popsicles – enhanced by date syrup that’s added just before freezing so it stays in tight little flavor pockets throughout the popsicle. Heaven brought to you by your freezer, and an ideal summertime treat. Here’s how to make them.

Could you somtimes have pictures of the process so newbes like me can make sure they are doing the pocedure correctly?
And do you put the mothers in the frig with the reserve until you make the next batch?
Hi Diann – I wish there were step by step pics of making the kombucha too — unfortunately the magazine had limited space. It wouldn’t hurt to let ReadyMade know that this is helpful to you (and let them know that you enjoyed having some healthy lifestyle tips like the kombucha in there too — it’s not their normal terrain so kudos to them!)
To answer your question, if you’re not making another batch right away, yes – put any culture you’re not using in the fridge. There it will become dormant until reintroduced to a room temperature environment again.
David’s gonna love this. He’s been wanting to learn how to make his own. Thank you and for the comment above. This is great!
