This simple and stunningly photographed book explains the basics of brewing your own komboucha, kefir and natural soda - right from your very own home. Truly, this book couldn't arrive in your life at a better time.

Today you'll find anywhere a whole range of naturally low-sugar, fermented alternatives such as kombucha, switchel and kefir - all healthy, gut-friendly drink options. These thirst-quenchers might seem too complicated to consider making yourself - but, in fact, fermented drinks are much easier to create at home than you might think. That's the thing about fermentation... You just bottle it up and wait. This book contains 40 easy-to-create drinks that will not just save you money, but will make you feel great too! Recipes in the book include kefir, kombucha, grapefruit soda, cider, switchel and mead. You'll be a (mocktail) mixologist in no time!

Tired of hearing about how 'love is all you need' and that 'love will conquer all'? Does the idea of balloons, love hearts, boxes of chocolates and birds suddenly appearing make your teeth ache with the sickly saccharine cliched insanity? How about some real talk? It's all a farce.
