Stored in the ebay file... :-)

Despite negative posts to the contrary, dad's been drinking his brew for
over 10 years and I think it really helps his immune system. He ferments
a variety of herbals along with the green tea and sugar.

I don't like to drink it simply because I don't like drinking things
that taste like vinegar as a beverage. ;-) I do keep some of the
stronger Kombu' vinegar on the stove for cooking tho'. I want to try
filtering some really well and making an herbal vinegar with it.
Dill/basil vinegar is excellent on fish.

Try to handle it in a sanitary manner. Kombu' that gets contaminated
turns odd colors and falls apart. A healthy culture has the texture of
rubber and a deep tan-ish color.
