Jun: So I have begun fermenting again after a two-decade break. I just corked 4 bottles of wine that will be ready to try in two years. Wanting something I could enjoy a little sooner I also made some Jun. What is Jun? Well, it is a Kombucha-type drink fermented with both yeast and bacteria. The drink is made by fermenting Green Tea and Honey; my Jun was also infused with Rose Hips for flavor. I bottled it early so that it would become carbonated.
The result was a pretty refreshing vinegary drink perhaps better suited to summertime thirst quenching than as a winter warmer. If I would do it again I would add ginger to spice it up because the flavor is already pretty similar to ginger ale. I am skeptical about Jun's purported properties as a ‘super food’, but no matter, it tastes good.
Cheers!
