Dear Parent,
Just a few things to know before signing up for the Kids Kombucha Camp from the Kombucha Lady:

Our kombucha is low in sugar and passes Health Dept regs, yet-Kombucha is a fermented drink and does contain trace amounts of alcohol.
We will be making rootbeer kombucha floats in this class with non-dairy ice cream, but this will contain sugar. The brew for the “rootbeer” kombucha is made with Tulsi and Rooibos teas and does not contain caffeine.

You can also email me with questions @ jeffandlizdodson@gmail.com
I love teaching and I love kids,
