Dood! We've been making our own. It's decidedly less potent than the store-bought, but it's mmm-mmm delicious. Has it hit NYC yet? ;)

Yes - because I saw someone drinking the Synergy stuff last weekend at a party... but i'm in Minnesota now, and had a bottle of the purple one yesterday, and just had a bottle of the passionberry (been feeling a bit under the weather, hence, indulging).

i'm hooked. How does one make it? is it difficult? the checkout person at North Country Co-op states that he swears by the homemade stuff, too.

It's not hard to make. You need a large glass container (can be bought at most coops) and cheesecloth. There are good instructions at http://www.bluemarble.de/Norbert/kombucha/Recipe/body_recipe.htm, but the most difficult part is finding someone who has a kombucha mother or baby that they can give. You can even cut the mother in half and make a new culture from that. It's totally bizarre to watch the mother make a baby, but definitely worth it. yeay kombucha!

would a craigslist ad be useful for this purpose?

'NSWF seeks Kambucha Momma.'
