The author does a great job of giving an overview of each probiotic drink
I bought this book as an E-Book originally and kept going back to it for recipes, so I bought the book! I haven’t tried a recipe in the book that we didn’t care for! We have made Jun and Water Kefir Lemonade, vanilla flavor & cherry lime. The author does a great job of giving an overview of each probiotic drink…I was excited to see a whole section on Jun Kombucha. Most books strictly talk about traditional Kombucha. Thank you! My husband loves lemonade that is full of sugar…I was excited to see a fermented lemonade section and a water kefir lemonade. Since I have water kefir grains, I tried that version first. He loves it and I love that he is getting a healthier drink! We have moved up to a 3 gallon carboy and make 2 gallons a week. The vanilla water kefir is delicious…to me it tastes like cream soda! Eventually I want to try the fermented lemonade, sarsaparilla water kefir, ginger beer, and different flavors of Jun. I’m glad I added this book to my collection!

Enjoying my lacto-fermented lemonade
I used to make Kombucha, and it tasted like vinegar. I didn’t know about secondary fermentation and bottling it. I’m not sure if I’m up to the commitment of Kombucha again, but I have been really enjoying the lacto-fermented lemonade I’ve been making from this book. And her recipes for flavorings sound really good. I’ve gotten a sage plant, and as soon as it has 10 big leaves on it, you can bet I’ll be trying the sage-flavored lemonade. There’s lots of good info, explanations, and recipes in this book, clearly laid out. Recommend to anyone interested in any of these fermented drinks.

Familiar recipes
I was super curious about making my own healthy, fizzy drinks like kombucha and kefir at home. The book boasts a big promise: 75 recipes for all sorts of bubbly drinks that are good for your gut. Flipping through the pages, I was initially thrilled by the cool pictures and easy-to-follow instructions. It felt like this book was set to make me a fermentation pro, covering everything from ginger beer to various types of kombucha. This was reassuring, as it made the whole process seem accessible and fun.However, my excitement began to wane as I realized many of the recipes could easily be found online. While the book does a good job of demystifying the basics of making popular fermented drinks, the “75 recipes” were more about flavor variations of kombucha, kefir, and ginger beer rather than a wide variety of fermenting techniques. I was expecting a deeper exploration into the world of fermented beverages, including unique, lesser-known drinks. The absence of truly novel recipes, like those for kanji, a fermented drink I was eager to learn about, felt like a missed opportunity to stand out.”Delicious Probiotic Drinks” is a solid starting point for beginners eager to dip their toes into the world of home fermentation, providing a comforting hand-hold through the basics of brewing kombucha, kefir, and ginger beer. Yet, for those already familiar with the basics or seeking to broaden their fermentation horizons, the book may fall short, offering more in the way of flavoring existing ferments than introducing a broad spectrum of fermented drinks. It’s perfect for getting your feet wet, but seasoned fermenters might find themselves thirsting for more.

The first part of the Kombucha chapter is an overview explaining the process in an easy to read way
Book is helpful. I bought it for Kombucha help. The first part of the Kombucha chapter is an overview explaining the process in an easy to read way.However trying to follow the recipes without reading that first over view will be nearly impossible. Example, Blackberry Sage Kombucha on page 56. Steo 3 has you creating a mixture in a saucepan, then says leave bottles in a warm dark place. What bottles? The Kombucha? The mixture? is it already bottled for secondary fermentation? This is written in a way that will ruin batches for people. You can’t pick it up and do a recipe without referring to this overview at the start. And even if you do read the overview there are recipes like this that just ignored common sense and reader flow. The blackberry Sage kombucha recipe on page 56 as written is incomplete an should not be in the book or given more clear steps. This is after less than an hour of reading through the book. I’ve not dived into the other fermented drinks in the book. Who knows how many are like this?I’d suggest getting this book if you just want an overview like myself. Page 37 to the first recipe for basic Kombucha are great as a crash course. However the following recipes are convoluted and unclear. You’ll be forced to “wing it” half way through when you realize there is a clearly missing step.

Muito explicativo e boas receitas

Easy to understand instructions. Lots of variety.

Lots of information in this book, lovely illustrations. I didn’t realise the measurments were American as in quarts and cups, but these can easily be converted. What I was glad to see is that whole fruits are used to to flavour the made drinks rather than having to use a cold press juicer which I have seen in other books. Overall a great addition to my library of probiotic food and drink making.

I bought this for a friend who loves drinks, but wanted more natural ones for health reasons. She said there was a lot of variety of taste and purpose, considering that these drinks are supposed to help eliminate some problems. She liked the tastes and she was very happy with this book. According to her, it is great for drink lovers.
