Happy Halloween Chocolate Persimmon Kefir!

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
Harpier cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!
Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches’ mummy; maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark;
Root of hemlock digg’d i the dark;
Liver of blaspheming Jew;
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Sliver’d in the moon’s eclipse;
Nose of Turk, and Tartar’s lips;
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingrediants of our caldron.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Hmmm...sounds interesting, but I think I'll have Chocolate Persimmon Kefir instead.

Second fermented kefir increases the nutrients and actually tastes a lot better! If you don't like the sour taste of plain kefir, second fermenting actually mellows out the flavor. It increases the B vitamins and makes the calcium and magnesium easier to absorb. Your body can immediately use the nutrients because they are rich in enzymes.
 
Second Fermented Chocolate Persimmon Kefir
1 cup kefir (Instructions here)
2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder
1 persimmon chopped up
Blend the ingredients in a blender and pour into an airtight jar or bottle. Let it sit at room temperature for about 6 hours and enjoy! The sweet persimmons are amazing with the tart kefir and bitter chocolate.
Have a Happy Halloween with this healthy treat!
