JM> First I've ever heard of it.. Keep us posted!

It is fermented tea with an ancient history. It was rumored to be in the skin
pouches of Gengis Khan's soldiers. It is popular in the Soviet Union. Go to
a good healthfood store and pick up a bottle and try it. It's got an active
culture so it is probiotic like yoghurt. I am making a plain batch for my
first time but my next batch will have ginger in it.

Sounds interesting!
Julie has heard of it and has tried it locally but hasn't been a frequent
consumer. I'll have to give it a try and see what it's like. The Ginger sure
got her attention. We make our own Ginger tea by simply magic bulleting the
hell out of fresh ginger root.
