Citric Acid is a commonly found acid in many fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits such as lemons and limes. It is used as a flavoring agent and preservative in food and beverage items and by chefs in various dishes. When mixed with sodium bicarbonate, Citric Acid creates a fizzy, effervescent reaction, which is why it is a primary ingredient in bath bombs. Additionally, Citric Acid can be used as a natural cleaner for hard water stains and kitchen messes and to dissolve mineral buildup. It can also passivate stainless steel and copper stills and deodorize with a pleasant, citrusy smell.
Citric acid also acts as a preservative when making elderberry gummies and helps coat the outside of homemade gummies to keep them from sticking.

I am overall pleased with the purchase of this starter kit. I am a first time home brewer of Kombucha and this was very beginner friendly. The only thing I am not certain of is, during my research and being on all sorts of Kombucha blogs, I have read/learned that you need 2 cups of starter liquid per gallon. I didn't specifically measure, but I don't think the starter liquid that came with the pellicle was 2 cups, I think it was more like 1 cup, and it did say it makes a gallon, so it may be a little misleading. Fortunately, this did NOT have a negative impact on my batch. My first batch did take a little over 2 weeks to be ready for F2 (which is quite long), but I was still able to get a good batch out of it, which also helped to create future batches. I am now on my 4th batch, so needless to say, even if it wasn't a full 2 cups of starter liquid per gallon, it still worked, just took a bit longer!
I have been wanting to try this herbal tea for quite some time. I finally have and I am a huge fan now! It is delicious on it's own with a little honey mixed in or I will sometimes add calendula and/or chamomile to switch up the flavors a bit. It will remain in my rotation of herbal teas going forward!
I use it as a tea. I add about a teaspoon of honey. Although it seems to have a bit of a peppery taste it is not overpowering. I like the taste of it.
This is my second order for this kit. It is easy to make and I love the flavor. Even my 4 year old great grandson will take it, and that gives me peace of mind, as it will help him from being sick so much.
I absolutely loved the flavor of this. It is probably one of my favorites!
I can’t say which has been my favorite. They all have been packed with beautiful creative layouts-and filled with information and how-to’s to try and experience what is captured on the pictures.
Thank you
Many times I drink coffee just to have some flavor besides water. This is a great way to add better flavor with less caffeine. Love it! I love trying the teas and coffee substitutes from Farmhouse Teas.
I received my order in a very timely manner-as always-Customers service and packaging has been a continuous treat-
I haven’t tried making my first batch but excited about doing so.
We absolutely loved this product. It is by far our favorite herb so far. I was so excited to find this product and the quality is fantastic.
Love this tea, perfect pick me up in the afternoon!
