We have had this day on the books for weeks, we were to make chai concentrate and sauerkraut:). Interesting combo we know, not to be consumed together, unless that's your thing!
The beautiful spice blend before we added 36 Darjeeling tea bags.
Beautiful cabbage head, we shredded 5 heads.
The kitchen was trashed! This was close to the end of the process.
The kraut needed whey to complete fermentation... We needed 2 cups of whey. That liquid on the top of plain yogurt is the whey. Good thing we bought a lot of yogurt and started straining ahead of time. What's left on top? Greek style yogurt. Mmmm.
My pretty sissy getting honey outta the jar.
Gotta goof and take a sauerkraut selfie.
The girls went and picked plums while Owen took a nap. Such good girls!
A panoramic of the craziness of the kitchen and house. So much fun and love!
Our final products- and a few jars of pickled beets too. The kraut is "ready" tomorrow so I'll let you know how it tastes. The chai has been infusing steadily since it was finished:).
