What's the difference, chicken?





















First of all, we're mostly vegetarian.

No really. What's the difference between these two jars of brownish liquid? Come on, take a guess or two. Maybe you think one liquid is darker than the other, or more opaque. Maybe one's more viscous. But a picture, a picture can only say so much.

We wish you could take a whiff of these jars! Even then, would you know the difference? What do you think we do with these jars of browinsh liquid? It's hard to say, we know. So here we go.

The one on the left is worm tea, and the one on the right is magic broth! These are both amazing and astonishing homemade (by us) liquids that have tremendous healing and nourishing qualities. Who knew?!

Worm Tea: You'll hear more about the worms. We promise. But as an intro, we grow worms . Worms eat our kitchen scraps. Worms, as they process our kitchen scraps, excrete a brownish liquid called worm tea, or compost tea. Our special worm condo is designed to let this liquid excretion drain into a well at the bottom of the condo tower. It's awesome. The worm tea is good for plants! Yay plants!

Magic Broth: Worm Tea is good for plants, and magic broth is good for humans! We make magic broth to keep ourselves healthy, especially when we're getting sick. Recipe for magic broth:

Boil some water, add roughly chopped onions, smashed garlic cloves, chopped or jarred ginger (not the pink stuff), and cayenne pepper. Experiment with the proportions and do what makes you feel good!

Let broth boil for about 20 minutes or more. Strain and add some lemon juice and honey.

Amazing magic broth for you to drink and stay healthy!

As much as we love them both, we have to make sure not to get our jars mixed up. As weird as we can be, we'll save the worm tea for the plants.

For now,
Suj and Amy
