I don’t know if you’ve ever made kombucha during winter, but here’s the problem with that. We save energy, so our home isn’t super warm during winter. We just put more clothes on if we get cold! But our scoby, the weird lump of bacteria that makes the delicious tea, can’t put on more clothes! So making the kombucha takes ages! During summer when it’s warm inside and outside it’s way faster to make it!
My other partner Sara is very pleased with summer. She gets to have homemade kombucha every week and she also gets to eat all kinds of foods made from Finnish wild plants! Yesterday we ate stinging nettle pancakes (with lingonberry jam)! Spring and summer really are the best time for foragers.
Speaking of kombucha, here’s a comic about the first time I gave it to my friend Eelis. This comic is colored by Sara, my partner! Go check out Sara’s website too!
If you’re interested in knowing what else do I do in my daily life, I suggest you go browse more of my comics here on my blog!
