My mother is notorious for bringing crap to Thanksgiving even when we tell her not to.
My wife spends days baking from-scratch pies. My mom brings a grocery store (and likely at it's expiration date) pie.
I tell her we're avoiding soda due to our toddler and health reasons. My mom brings a case of Diet Cherry Coke and LEAVES it after she's gone.
It's infuriating!
This year, we're trying out a fully from-scratch traditional foods dinner. I just started a culture and hope to have a gallon or two ready by Thanksgiving (trying to find a mother on Craigslist to speed the process up a little).
I have a pretty good handle on the process. Two gallon jars with spigots on the way from Amazon.
I'd like to offer her a bottle of kombucha that's similar to what she's used to drinking. Does anyone have any suggestions for backsweetening (she's diabetic but eats so much sugared crap. I doubt the little bit in a backsweetened bottle would matter to her) and adding cherry flavor tokombucha?
TL;DR New to kombucha. Want to offer my Diet Cherry Coke-addicted mother something she'll like this Thanksgiving. Any tips?
