Kombucha Taffy
Taffy is a healthful probiotic treat that travels well and provides a tasty alternative to candy.
When your kombucha makes the extra scoby and there’s no one waiting in line for a starter, peel off the layer of scoby.
The thinner the scoby the more like stained glass candy, the thicker the scoby the more the end-product will be like taffy. Cut the scoby with stainless steel scissors into rectangles then lay out on dehydrator trays. Drizzle a thin line of local honey and salt on the scoby strips and dehydrate on 115 degrees overnight or until your desired firmness.

I love your blog!!! I am trying the candy scoby right now, but am wondering how you got the honey to stay on your scoby pieces? Mine is draining off and making a nice mess on the trays? I do not have fruit leather trays so just curious if you have any advice as I think it will be a challenge to clean my trays? I was thinking of cutting some parchment paper to line the trays but wondering if that would interfere with proper air flow?
Thanks so much.
I use baking sheets because it’s cheaper in the long run. I use them for making fruit leather also. but I do mess my trays frequently. that dehydrator gets a workout in this house. I wash them in the bathtub. hot water and dish soap. let them sit and then swish them back and forth, barely have to scrub. rinse and return home to dehydrator. here’s the baking sheets: http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Baking-Mat-Set-Piece/dp/B00HEV1SL8/ref=as_sl_pc_ss_til?tag=nourishingp0c-20&linkCode=w01&linkId=SHZVQWXG6ODMNRR4&creativeASIN=B00HEV1SL8
I don’t have dehydrator. Can I make the taffy on oven with the same temperature?
