   Regarding Jun recipe:
   I really do not like ginger flavor. Can it be omitted or substituted?

   Hi Patty, ginger can absolutely be omitted. That is because the flavoring comes in after the jun finishes its primary fermentation. You can drink your jun plain with absolutely no flavor additions, but my favorites include blueberry+basil, pear+cardamom, hibiscus+lemon, lemon+lavender, carrot+turmeric, even herbal tea blends make great additions to your jun! Be creative with what you choose. I enjoy herbal notes with mild sweetness from juice. My method is to add the juice (or juice herb combo, steeped and cooled) to the secondary fermentation bottle directly (approx 1-2 ounces per 16 ounce bottle), then fill the rest of the way with jun. Cap the bottle and let it sit for a few more days to build carbonation.
