How to Make SCOBY Candy

Did you know you can turn your leftover kombucha scobys into scoby candy?

Of course, you can also compost your leftover kombucha scobys, or feed them to the chickens.  Our pigs love scobys too!

But why toss them when, with a simple honey soak and a trip through the dehydrator, you can turn them into a healthy treat?

I know, it sounds crazy.  I mean, I think we can all agree that kombucha scobys are kind of weird to begin with.  And now we’re going to soak them in honey or maple syrup, dehydrate them, and eat them??

Yep.  As my husband likes to say: we are so far off the reservation.

Actually, he doesn’t say it anymore.  Because he knows.  My crunchy ideas don’t really phase him anymore.

Anyhoo, this isn’t so much a recipe as it is a loose procedure.  Scoby candy is so easy, even a kid can make it.  Mine do!
