Pff, you elves people and your leaf-water. Regular water's good enough for me.

I ferment my tea after the dwarfish fashion.

No, seriously. I make kombucha. Actually, I make more than I can drink... During the school year I give bottles of it to my coworkers, but right now I have to drink it all myself. I'm having to pour some of it down the drain because I just can't drink it all. It's a tragedy.

Some awesome stuff in here lately. :)
@Japa: I'll totally come visit you once you get that dosa recipe down pat. I lurves me some dosa(s?).
Also, this chifir stuff sounds insane. As someone who never gets a caffeine high from drinks any more, I'd be interested in trying it one day even if it does sound a bit horrible.

Roasted mixed vegetables are quickly becoming one of my favourite foods. Sooo delicious.

Not my own exploits, but Alton Brown's youtube channel is full of very amusing, light, and short videos on various standard and oddball cooking topics. 10/10 worth watching.

From what I've read, it's fizzy mushroom tea.

Kombucha is slightly fermented tea. It's very tasty and also extremely healthy. It's made with a yeast culture that ONLY feeds on tea (and dies without it). The culture looks like a mushroom but it's actually yeast (it's called a scoby, though brewers often refer to it as a mushroom). What you do is make a big batch of green tea (or black, but green tastes nicer) with a lot of sugar in it. You let it cool to room temperature (heat kills the scoby) and put it in a big jar with the yeast culture. Then you cover it with a cloth and put it out of the way for about a week. Then you set the scoby aside, bottle the newly-made kombucha (I put in fresh ginger at this point and leave it in the bottle until it gets fizzy).

The yeast digests the sugar and tea. The result is something very healthy. Tea has lots of Good Stuff in it, but our bodies can only absorb a little bit. After it's fermented by this culture, our bodies can absorb ALL the good stuff in the tea. There is also a tiny bit of alcohol, but it's something like 0.05%, so it's not considered an alcoholic beverage. You can keep fermenting it until it's alcoholic, but it would taste like vinegar then.

The problem with kombucha is it became a sort of health food craze at one point and health food stores started selling it in bottles. Do NOT buy this crap. Kombucha is healthy because of the live yeast in it. But if you leave a bottle of kombucha on a shelf, it will keep fermenting. After too many days (maybe 5-7), it starts to taste like vinegar and turn alcoholic. For this reason, all the "kombucha" you see in stores is pasteurized. Pasteurization kills all the yeast so it doesn't ferment anymore, thereby removing all the healthy stuff in the drink. It also changes the taste, so the stuff you would buy in a store usually tastes very yeasty, like bread. It's disgusting.

If you want to try actual kombucha, you have to find someone who makes it. Usually they make more than they can drink (you have to be continually making more or the scoby dies) and will be happy to give you some. Also, the scoby is always growing, and you have to split it now and then or it gets too thick. If you can find someone who makes kombucha, I guarantee they will be happy to give you a spare culture and you can make your own.

It's delicious, really. Especially with ginger in it. Mmmmmmmmm.

Does anyone know any good kinds of fruit soups that don't have tomatoes?  Preferable healthy and easy to make, but at this point I would just settle for enlarging the pool of things I eat.  Everything I can find on google regarding something that I might find interesting is a video, which with my internet I can't watch right now.

Why a fruit soup, specifically?
For soups in general, I suggest either some variety of cabbage with potatoes or lentils.

Mmmmh, lentils.
