We recently started making our own Kombucha and I doubt I’ll ever go back to buying it except if we’re traveling. I love coming up with different flavors. For instance BEETS! I’ve recently seen recipes for coffee kombucha and am thinking of trying that for something different.
Ah so inspiring!!! Need to get on it!!
I have a modification for this recipe that I’ve been making for at least 6 months and my co-workers love it! I not only add almonds & cashews, I add pecans and sun flower seeds. Sometimes I roast them and sometimes I do not. I’ve never tried adding vanilla bean however, I will now! I do not add any salt (just a preference) and then I melt Black & Gold 85% chocolate bars with coconut oil and a little bit of kerry gold butter then pour some into the mini cup cake pan (with wrappers). Right after I fill the wrappers with chocolate, I add the nut butter and the chocolate engulfs the nut butter (so yummy) then I put it in the fridge to cool….it reminds me of a peanut butter cup!
OMG that sounds incredible!!! Love it!
What would you recommend for making this without cashews? I have a friend who is allergic to cashews, walnuts, and pecans. I’d love to make this and have it on hand for her and her kids when they come over.
You can just do more almonds or any nut she likes!
Where do you get your vanilla bean?
Any major grocery store! I have gotten it at Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons, Whole Foods!
