Our society is officially uptight! In case you hadn’t noticed. Kombucha pulled from the shelves because the alcohol levels, low as they are, are unstable. And I thought I was getting away with drinking all day at work. Damn!

Just in case you’re seeing pink elephants without your K fix, you can brew it yourself at home. All it takes is a mother (shown below) and some clean and careful boiling and mixing. It’s as easy as making beer. Plus, you get all the health benefits of Kombucha. I have a few mothers I can spare (they spawn during the brewing process just like in Aliens.) My friend Joey has some too. Just let me know and I’ll hook you up!
