Fermenting with Creativity: Water Kefir / Tibicos
VIRTUAL WORKSHOP!
7:00 – 8:30pm EST, ON ZOOM

Join Trevor Ring, educator and founder of Community Cultures, to enter the fascinating world of water kefir, aka tibicos, in this engaging workshop. Attendees will learn about the significance of this SCOBY, what makes it unique, how to keep it healthy, and what products it can ferment. From there, we will explore its endless creative possibilities! This workshop will specifically focus on creating naturally fermented soda, and touch on other products like nut-based cheese and other condiments.

Attain some water kefir grains before the workshop — we recommend Florida Sun Kefir — and follow the demo to make a jar of water kefir soda at home. Walk away with the curiosity and confidence to creatively use water kefir in your new fermentation lab!
