Kombucha and Kefir






Here is my Kombucha and Kefir. Healthy goodies for my family and for a fraction of the cost at health food stores.












ooops thats 2 gallons of water













3 green tea and 3 black tea bags













One of my Kombucha resources, I found it at a used book store in Oregon.








Kefir is my new experiment. I received some "grains" or starter for it from a friend in Montana. I made a smoothie with some of the Kefir this morning, added a banana and 1/2 cup of blueberries. YUM!!!

I got this from a Kefir website:
Here are some of the known kefir health benefits:

Strength

In my daily Bible reading, I keep coming across all these verses on Strength....

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord and be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart, wait I say on the Lord.


Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield: my heart trusteth in thee, and I am helped.


Psalm 28:8 The Lord is their strength and he is the saving strength of his annointed.


Psalm 128:1 Blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord: that walketh in his ways.


Psalm 29:11 The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.


2 Chronicles 32:8 but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.


Proverbs 31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength and strengtheneth her arms.


Proverbs 31:25 Strength and honour are her clothing: she shall rejoice in time to come.

Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.
