Probiotic Water Kefir Tea | When I began to make water kefir, I ran into a problem pretty quickly: what was I going to do with it? All of the probiotic elixir coming out of my kitchen just couldn't go to waste! At first I mixed the water kefir with freshly-squeezed lemon juice to create lemonade, but soon my family wanted more variety. So... I experimented with tea. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Why We Steam Kale and Other Greens | Nutritional powerhouses like kale, collards, spinach, chard, and beet greens all contain oxalic acid, which binds with calcium and other minerals (like magnesium and iron) in order to be excreted from the body. Calcium and magnesium are precious minerals our bodies need to function and grow properly. The good news is: oxalic acid is easily reduced by steaming, boiling, or wilting the leaves of any of these vegetables. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
