April showers bring May’s theme-FLOWERS. Come check out FLOWERY FERMENTS at our May LEHIGH VALLEY FERMENTS meet up! We’ll be at Colony Meadery South Bethlehem TONIGHT (May 16) from 7-8pm. 🌸🌺

Kombucha, soda, kefir, honey, vinegar, shrub, mead, wine...whatever inspires you. Have fun, be creative and surprise the group! 🌹Try experimenting with incorporating flowers in the first and/or second fermentation to make your own Flower Power blend. Just avoid tea blends with added flavors and/or oils such as Earl Grey in the first fermentation. Bring a friend and your ferments to share.

We’re looking forward to meeting you in person! - Carmela & Tim

Anyone in our group making natto at home? Do you use a spore packet or a piece of frozen natto? What’s your incubation method—Sous vide? Crockpot? Oven?

Should you add a little nattо̄ to your life?

Uh oh, running dangerously low on fermented honey garlic. It’s super easy to make and a great immune booster.

Wanna make some? fill a clean jar 1/2-3/4 full of peeled garlic cloves. Pour in some RAW honey to cover it. Cover jar loosely with a lid to let the gases escape and set aside to ferment. It’s a good idea to put a plate underneath to catch any sticky garlicky drips. It’s important to gently turn the jar over every other day or so to make sure the garlic stays coated with honey. Will ferment for around a month, but can be eaten any time during the process. I love how the flavor develops over time enjoy it straight outta the jar. Honey garlic stores well in a cool place for many months—this jar is a year old!

Where are all my garlic lovers at? What’s your favorite garlic ferment?

Our favorite Irish Soda Bread recipe ☘️

This easy recipe is our go-to. We use milk kefir instead of the buttermilk add in raisins, dried apricots, or dried cherries.

Rainbow 🌈 tacos
The green sourdough tortillas came out great! We had tomatoes, shredded carrot, radishes, guacamole, scallions, romaine, purple cabbage, cheddar cheese, crockpot refried black beans, and fermented green hot sauce. 🙂

What would you put on your rainbow tacos?
