DD> I found a list of 6 suggestions from
DD> https://www.culturesforhealth.com.
DD> 1. Dressings and Condiments: Kombucha tea can be used in place of
DD> vinegar in salad dressing
That seems to be the best thing to do with it. I made boiled carrots
to go with the Christmas turkey as Roslind is not fond of sweet
potatoes and dressed them with a vinaigrette of olive oil, kombucha,
black pepper and rosemary, which was quite tasty.
DD> 2. Meat Marinade: Due to its acidity
I suppose I could try that.
DD> 3. Frozen Treats: Kombucha can be blended with fruit or juice and
DD> frozen to make popsicles or granitas.
DD> 4. Soaking Grains
But I think I'll pass on both of those ideas
DD> 5. Acidic Ingredient in Mixed Drinks
It's not all that different than a switzel. I've been experimenting
with mixed results. If I hit a truly tasty combination I'll post the
results here.
DD> A second ferment with juice makes it sweeter and more carbonated.
Hmmm!
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Blood Orange Coriander Gastrique
Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
Yield: 1 pint
1 Splash freshly-squeezed
Lemon juice
1 c White sugar
Water
1/2 c White wine vinegar
1/4 c Coriander seeds
1 c Freshly-squeezed blood
Orange juice
1 oz Vodka
Tools: Medium saucepan, pastry brush, fine-gauge strainer, sealable
glass or plastic containers
With bartenders and chefs working so closely these days, it was only
a matter of time before the latest crossover emerged: gastriques.
Some cocktailians are looking to these sugar and vinegar based
sauces, long employed by cooks, as alternatives to simple syrup. The
vinegar reduction's unique acidity can add depth to a drink, and the
wide variety of fruits and herbs that can be added to the mix leaves
plenty of room for experimentation.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine lemon juice, sugar
and enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Use a pastry brush
to push sugar off the sides and into the liquid. As soon as the
mixture begins to turn brown and no longer bubbles, slowly stir in
vinegar, followed by coriander seeds. Gradually add blood orange
juice and continue stirring until the mixture is a uniformly smooth,
syrupy consistency. Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to cool.
Strain out coriander seeds. Add vodka to preserve freshness, and
store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. A gastrique will
keep for up to six weeks, although it will begin to lose its flavor
sooner. Make small batches and use quickly for fresher taste.
