Brewing
Okay kiddo, we're going to talk about brewing! Do you know what brewing is? It's when you make something delicious to drink, like tea or coffee. But did you know that brewing isn't just for tea and coffee? It's also for making other drinks like beer and even kombucha!
First, let's talk about making tea. When you brew tea, you take some dried tea leaves and put them in hot water so that the water can soak up all the flavors and color of the tea. Then you strain out the tea leaves and drink the yummy tea!
Now let's talk about making beer. To make beer, you need to start with grains like barley. You heat up the barley to make a sweet liquid called wort, which is the base of the beer. Then you add hops, which are like little flowers that give the beer a bitter taste, and yeast, which makes the beer fizzy.
The yeast eats the sugar in the wort and creates alcohol and carbon dioxide. This process is called fermentation, and it takes a few weeks to complete. When the fermentation is done, you have beer!
Finally, let's talk about making kombucha. Kombucha is a drink that's made from fermented tea. You start with tea, add sugar and a special type of bacteria called SCOBY. The SCOBY eats the sugar and creates a tangy, slightly effervescent drink.
Once the kombucha is done fermenting, you can drink it as-is, or you can add flavors like fruit or herbs to make it even tastier!
So there you have it, brewing is the process of making yummy drinks like tea, beer, and kombucha by soaking ingredients in hot water and letting bacteria and yeast do their thing. Cheers to delicious drinks!
